about

A wishful song about a girl who believes everything her friend tells her

lyrics

My friend Emily says
That her cousin is a princess
In a palace of gold all her own
At breakfast time
A silver spoon
Diamonds rubies and pearls light up her room

My friend Emily says
That her brother has a spaceship
And he flies to the moon every night
He travels at
The speed of light
Counting down to blast off out of sight

My friend Emily says
That her grandma’s in the circus
And she’s covered in hair everywhere
Her beard is long
Down to her knees
She plaits it tidily when she flies the trapeze

My friend Emily says that her mother is a mermaid
With a beautiful tail navy blue
She scares the sharks
Back out to sea
She taught an octopus how to water-ski

My friend Emily says
My friend Emily says
