Lyrics:
Little girl from the cold grey north
What are you doing here?
I'm spreading light like a feisty child
Sharing the music I hear
And then they roll their eyes and chatter
What is the matter?
What am I doing wrong?
You have to say and look and do right
Speak your mind but not quite
Too much, too loud or
Too quiet to fit in the crowd
I am too young to be old school
Too old fashioned to be modern
Too glad and chirpy
Too blue, too hip or artsy
Lock me out of your boxes, sit back and just enjoy the ride
Some they want more chords or less chords
A washboard and a banjo
A tribute to Billie,
Ella, Frank or Peggy
What’s a girl to do when she just wanna bring some music to you
There is just no other way
Than to play what we want to play
We have music to convey
And sometimes I wonder if Gershwin he would say
That I’m too young to be old school
Too old fashioned to be modern
Too glad and chirpy
Too blue, too hip or artsy
Lock me out of your boxes, sit back and just enjoy the ride
