song for the cit's by selki and brier

Closer to Fine
Selki and Brier

We’ve been having a great summer in W’y East
Playing with the fabulous CITs
And the best thing they’ve ever done for me
Is to help me play at camp more seriously
It’s only camp after all

Well, our campers have a hunger that’s insatiable
Granola bars and zits coming out our ears
Sleeping in blue tents with all the mousies
Don’t want to go home soon to our housies
Are you all crying yet?

Chorus:
We canoed up Wind River we hiked up Dog Mt.
Got used to using spigots just like a drinking fountain
You loved learning ‘bout the Girl Scout Program, YMCA, Campfire too
All the notes you took
Will pay off in the end, will pay off in the end

Periwinkle’s always leading songs with you
And in a race, you’d never
Beat Frogger, It’s true
Licorice playing guitar, always wants a new song
Pickle’s go, go dancing
And poor Phi, she says her name wrong
And Perplexed had no idea she was Mama Hen
But tomorrow she’ll be free

Chorus:

We lived in W’y East these last few weeks
And in this time became a family
The don’t know if Selki’s
Mom, of Brier’s dad
Saying goodbye tomorrow’s gonna be real sad
But you’ll be back next year

Chorus:



it made us all teary! selki sang emily's high ah's after each verse. twas quite lovely.


i've gotten much faster on the guitar. i can almost play at a decent speed, although my strumming isn't any better. was kind of hot to be playing outside. so far, however, it doesn't seem as if the exposed parts of me have suffered for it. YAY. also: i have a ride to sagi's party! yay.
now to jsut figure out how to get money for food before i go there...
