Connie O'Reyes

Years and years and years ago, when I was about to turn 21 (approximately 4 to be exact) I wrote this song. For those of you that read my old LJ, this may be familiar to you.  I felt it appropriate to post it on my blog seeing as my baby sister will be turning 21 in exactly 3 DAYS! I cannot wait and am almost as excited as when I turned 21. Although idk who’s going to do things for me when I’m drunk like hold my beer coupons so I don’t lose them, pick me up from the bar/train/random location when I need to be picked up, buy me lunch when I am hungover and too tired to put on shoes, and so on and so forth.

So here is my greatest musical accomplishments to date.  It’s sung to the tune of, “Part of Your World” from the Little Mermaid (when she’s in her cave). You must sing it to this tune in order to get the full effect. =D

Be 21

I wanna go where the drunkards go
I wanna see
Wanna see ’em chugging
Walking around with those
(Whadda ya call them?) oh-shoooots
Not 21 you don’t get to far
Drink warm beer in your mother’s car
Strolling around like a
(What’s that word?) teeeen
Up where there’s beer
Up where there’s fun
Up where they drink all day in the sun
Drinking till three
Wish I could be
Be twenty-one

What would I give, if I could
Enter in a bar?
What would I pay, to have an ID
That looked like me
Betcha in bars
They understand, they don’t
Have to go home early
Red faced drunks
Drunk like skunks
Barely can staaaand

And ready to know what the bartender knows
Making a mixed drink like cosmos and mai thais
What is Cuervo and why does it
(What’s the word?) Buuurrn?

When’s it my turn?
Wouldn’t I love
To sit on a bar stool way up above?
Drinking till three
Wish I could be
Be twenty-one
