GROUP 1:

IT'S A SUNNY DAY
AND YOU WANT TO PLAY
WITH YOUR FRIENDS
FROM DOWN THE STREET
BUT YOUR PARENTS SAY
"NO YOU'LL HAVE TO STAY.
YOU'VE GOT HOMEWORK TO COMPLETE"
SO YOU START TO FUME
AND THEY LEAVE THE ROOM
AS THEY ADD TO THE DEFEAT:
"NO, YOU CAN'T GO OUT THERE YET
OH, AND HONEY, DON'T FORGET
TO FEED THAT CAT."
NUTS TO THAT!

SAY YOU'RE AT THE MALL
AND YOU SEE A SMALL
LITTLE DOG YOU WANT TO GET
BUT YOUR PARENTS SAY
"NO WAY, JOSE!
YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER PET."
SO THEY START TO LEAVE
BUT YOU STAY AND HEAVE
AND YOUR EYES ARE GETTING WET
"WELL, I'M GONNA COUNT TO THREE
SO COME HERE AND DON'T YOU BE
A SPOILED BRAT."
NUTS TO THAT!

THERE'S A BIRTHDAY CAKE
AND YOU WANNA TAKE
ALL THE FLOWERS THERE ON THE TOP
BUT YOUR PARENTS SAY
"TAKE YOUR HANDS AWAY!
JUST SIT THERE, STILL. AND STOP!"
THEY'RE THE CAKE POLICE
SO THEY CUT A PIECE
FOR YOUR PLATE AND LET IT FLOP
"YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A LITTLE
CUZ ANOTHER BITE AND IT'LL
MAKE YOU FAT."
NUTS TO THAT!

LOOK AROUND RIGHT HERE
IN THE FREE AND CLEAR
NOT A RULE OR SCHOOL IN SIGHT
WE CAN SWIM ALL DAY
IN THE OCEAN SPRAY
WE CAN STAY UP LATE AT NIGHT
WE DON'T CLEAN THE ROOM
WE DON'T SWEEP OR BROOM
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE POLITE
AND WE'LL NEVER GET IN TROUBLE
CUZ WE'RE LIVING IN A BUBBLE
WHERE WE'RE AT.

NUTS TO THAT!
