Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [All] (ha ha ha ha!) Sun in my eye Jam in my hair We’re so dramatic ‘Bout breathing air [Verse 1] [Tenor] Woke up late for school again Sock on my hand Backpack in the kitchen [Mezzo] Mama said “You’re a masterpiece Of beautiful Ridiculous decisions” (oh yeah) [Baritone] Spilled my cereal Did a spin Turned the floor into a slip ‘n slide [Soprano] Falling like a tragic queen Then bowing to the crumbs with pride (bravooo!) [Chorus] [All] We laugh like we’re late for school Running in circles Breaking the rules Happiness dancing in crooked shoes Past Present Future We just can’t lose [Tenor & Mezzo] We giggle at yesterday [Baritone & Soprano] We’re smiling at today [All] We’re shouting to tomorrow “Hey Come out and play!” (hey!) [Verse 2] [Mezzo] First crush wrote my name so wrong On a note with three big hearts [Tenor] I still kept it in my drawer Proof love can’t spell But oh it starts [Baritone] First job I broke the coffee pot On my very first heroic day [Soprano] Everyone got latte air We called it “cloud foam” anyway (so fancy!) [Chorus] [All] We laugh like we’re late for school Running in circles Breaking the rules Happiness dancing in crooked shoes Past Present Future We just can’t lose [Tenor & Baritone] We mess up in every way [Mezzo & Soprano] Still somehow we’re okay [All] We’re sending the future A loud bouquet of “YAY!” (yay!) [Bridge] [Tenor] One day I’ll be wrinkled Wise-ish Talking to plants Forgetting my keys [Mezzo] I’ll blame the moon I’ll blame the toaster I’ll blame the cat Then laugh and sneeze [Baritone] We’ll tell kids “When I was young We rode bikes made out of pure imagination” [Soprano] They’ll roll their eyes Then roll with us In a giant family celebration (ho ho ho!) [Final Chorus] [All] We laugh like we’re late for school Running in circles Breaking the rules Happiness dancing in crooked shoes Past Present Future We just can’t lose [All Big operatic] Laughing through the thunder Laughing in the rain If life is a circus We’re proud of the stains [All Quiet then growing] We laugh like we’re late for school (ha ha ha ha) We laugh like we’re late for school (la la la la) [All Huge] Past Present Future We’re joyfully Gloriously Seriously Fooooools! (HA!)

Playful reggae-opera mashup with four vocalists trading lines: male tenor, male baritone, female mezzo, female soprano. Light skanking guitars, bouncing offbeat piano stabs, bubbly bass, and cartoonish woodwinds. Verses stay nimble and comedic with call-and-response; choruses bloom into big operatic harmonies and held notes on key words. Occasional exaggerated vibrato and “fake serious” moments for contrast, then snap back into sunny groove., opera
