As long as you don't understand the lyrics, it's very happy! Huge thanks to Alex Di Carlo for choosing this song as his project in school and spending a lot of time mixing it.
lyrics
In my lucky underwear,
I can fight all the bad guys
I can punch dance and cartwheel
I can’t fly but I jump I high(er)
When I wear my special cape,
I win bug-eating contests
And I lose my fear of snakes,
and of lunch time and recess
and with all my magic on, I could drive a firetruck
With my Xray Goggles on,
I can see through the fixtures
where my mommy hides the gun,
where my dad hides the pictures
With my super ninja socks,
I can climb up the eaves-trough
By the time the bad guy stops,
I’m asleep on the rooftop
but with all my magic on, I’m still never strong enough
With my flaky entourage,
I can sneak out the backdoor
While they’re busy betting odds,
on and off of the dance floor
With my mother’s favorite tie,
I can hang from a prom stall
Not until I learn to fly,
Or at least how to slow the fall
When the ambulances come,
and the screaming firetrucks
tell them all my magic’s gone,
I was never strong enough.
