Dance Song, by Seth Ruppert and Jon Beattie   

I’m putting out moves on the dance floor

Breakin out old groves like they’re reborn

all the ladies look at me like there’s something wrong

and I’ll respond

Chorus

I just wanna be a loser for yuh baby

like Steve Erkle and Screech from Saved by the Bell

all I gotta do is do the mashed potato

put your dance shoes on

I go up to her ask her to dance

Thinking I might get one slight chance

She says to me why can’t you see

I am pretty, and you are weirdin me out

I just wanna go on the dance floor with you

and if you go with me then I’ll show you my moves

we’d be the life of the party you’ll see, just you and me

First Grade Fears, by Noah Ruppert

One more time is all I need

before you push me to the limit

you never know I just might bleed

if that happens just forget the fact that you are stronger

you never failed to make me smaller

Chorus

Those days are gone where I can’t stick up for myself

and I just wonder what would’ve happened if I tried

But now the day has come when we’d just rather give high fives

and think of all the times we used to fight

Remember back in the first grade, you’d curl me in a ball

because of things you used to say, It’d tear me up

and then you knock me off my bike, fall to the ground and then I’d cry

Watching all your buddies root you on, like it’s a chanting marathon

Tip of the Hat, by Noah Ruppert

Hats off,

They tell me that it’s disrespecting

all my fellow students at my school

Back off,

So sorry there’s on object my head

Don’t get mad, could mean my ears are cold instead

I don’t mean to be a rebel

I guess I left it on

Chorus

I guess I’ve forgotten all my school’s priorities

Or maybe it’s just the fact I’m an ignorant teen

Call me crazy or lazy just not obscene

just let me wear my hat and not go cause a scene

Denied,

I threw the offer on the table

but still administration don’t agree

It’s time,

To gather all your friends to tip their hats

to all the lack of school boards considerate thinking

I don’t mean to be a rebel

I guess I left it on

I’ll take it off on the double

I just think that it’s wrong

to make us take the one thing off

that us guys love the most

and yet you let the girls wear pony tails

it’s that way coast to coast

I think I’m being cheated of one thing that matters most to me

To wear hats in the building, pigtails are more distracting
