Troop 8047 Song
by @bethkille
Liner Notes
Well this might go down in history as the most fun I've ever had writing a song. My bandmates from Gin, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets and I worked with Girl Scout Troop 8047 to write this song today in a 2 hour time block so they could get their Music Badge. What an absolute riot!! Such fun kids. Gawrsh, I love my life on days like today.
Lyrics
TROOP 8047 SONG Written by Troop 8047 with Shawndell Marks, Jen Farley and Beth Kille
VERSE 1 Here we are, right now, working together So we can go farther We help each other up when we fall down And reach to Mars so we can grab the stars
CHORUS We share ideas (we share ideas) We do it together (do it together) To make the world better (better) We’re friends forever (Troop 8047!)
VERSE 2 We bounce back and we don’t give up We do good things and we always care We take charge and we’re not selfish (or shellfish) A good leader is always fair
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE (spoken) Grab your magnifying glass, it's time to explore Have fun, learn more, dive into history Horseback riding, and trying new things Your curious-ily (curiosity) can uncover a mystery (mystery)
REPEAT CHORUS

Stellar! Impressive they (and you) were able to put this together so quickly. Catchy chorus. They’ll each be singing this for years to come.
Sooo much fun hearing how much fun the kids were having. What a great and real experience. You ladies rock!

And there is no Kevin? Haha. Inside joke?
How awesome is this! Or shellfish made me smile. The tune is great and the kids sound so hopeful and happy. The clapping rules. The mystery part is so awesome. Absolutely heart warming and fun. And great melody. And the kids have this song forever. Great job.

Love the "Shellfish!" What a wonderful gift you have given these girls, and you may never know how important your influence will be to their self-confidence and their futures. I can feel the fun in the room, and it takes me back. Thanks for this.
