Maryellen Just Being Me

Put a coin in the jukebox, let's jive

I came to dance and to have a good time

Saddle shoes, poodle skirts

Frilly white socks and polka dot shirts

With all my friends down at the roller rink

We have our yo-yos and some pickup sticks

Skating around, drinking some pop

Rock and roll music so the fun just won't stop

It's okay to wipe out if you fall

Shake it off

Pick yourself up

You'll pull ahead when the going gets tough

Oh, oh, I'm okay with being me

'Cause it's my individuality

Let's bebop tonight

I'm feeling free

Oh, oh, I'm okay with who I am

'Cause nobody lives life like I can

Here under the lights, I'm just being me

Meet my friends down at the diner by 5

Talking 'bout science club over some fries

Flying machines and chasing dreams

Nobody can take that away from me

I'm always marching to a different beat

Star of the parade going down the street

I can fit it but I'd rather stand out

Doing things different is what I'm about

It's okay to wipe out if you fall

Shake it off

Pick yourself up

You'll pull ahead when the going gets tough

Oh, oh, I'm okay with being me

'Cause it's my individuality

Let's bebop tonight

I'm feeling free

Oh oh I'm okay with who I am

'Cause nobody lives life like I can

Here under the lights, I'm just being me

I've got big ideas and really big dreams

Oh yeah, I'm always just expressing myself

Through creativity

Gotta follow where my heart leads

Even when I'm told not to

'Cause I believe in my curiosity

Oh, oh, I'm okay with being me

'Cause it's my individuality

Let's bebop tonight

I'm feeling free

Oh oh I'm okay with who I am

'Cause nobody lives life like I can

Here under the lights, I'm just being me
