Letisha Boccemski

The agency lady said “Give me a ring:

You might need some help with the way that you sing."

The boy in the Ray Bans said “Give us a smile:

You’ve got too much emotion and not enough style.”

Letisha Boccemski says “Do what you do

And don’t you let anyone do it for you”

So that’s just what I’m going to do

Letisha Boccemski, here’s to you.

 

The man in the hat says he can't hear the words when I sing

And his sister's neighbour she says the same thing

The girl in the grey doesn't like what I wear

She says something needs to be done with my hair

Letisha Boccemski says "What do they know?

Have faith in yourself and just go with the flow:

And what else do you need to know?"

Letisha Boccemski, way to go!

 

Letisha Boccemski says "Ask yourself why

You do what you're doing, and don't tell no lies"

And then she looks me in the eye: Letisha

When did you get to be so wise?

 

The man in the waistcoat says "These are the facts

You'll never get anywhere playing like that:

It isn't that we don't like what you do

But there's too many other people doing it too"

And looking skyward and faking a groan

Letisha Boccemski says "If only you'd known:

That's yet another chance in a lifetime you've blown!"

Letisha Boccemski, let's go home
