Verse

Alright! My life is bad
There’s no way to deny
OK! My milk is spilled
Now do I want to cry?

I never expected everything
Would always go my way
So when I wake up
I’ll look in the broken mirror
And you’re gonna hear me say:

Chorus 1

Buck up! Go ahead and shave
And face it with a smile
Shut up! Stop your complaining
And do something worthwhile

I won’t slow down just because I got a burn
Or divorce or a cut-off leg
Just because I lost every penny that I ever earned
Doesn’t mean I gotta go and beg

Bridge

So take the bull by the horns
And the horse by the reigns
Face the music and the rain that’s over your parade

You know nothing ever changed just because you sat
And wished real hard it would
So at the end of the day
You’re gonna hear me say
I made the best lemonade I could

Chorus 2

Buck up! Go ahead and shave
And face it with a smile
Shut up! Stop your complaining
And do something worthwhile

Coda

The invitations to my pity party were all retuned to sender
So now I know for my peace of mind
And all the happiness that I’ll ever find
I am my sole defender

Lyrics

Verse 1

Sometimes you need someone to believe in
‘Cos you don’t believe in yourself
Sometimes you’re getting tired of getting nowhere
And you need to take a look around

‘Cos there are Pandas, who will pick you up
When you are tired they’ll be there for you
‘Cos they’re your teammates, who are on your side
They will lift you and pull you on through

So if you ever find you’re getting tackled
And games just pass your by
Just remember you’re a Panda
And hold your head up high

Chorus 1

Go Pandas, go Pandas, we play in shades of blue
We’re strong, we’re Pandas, but we don’t eat bamboo
If you’re ever slowing down and just can’t keep the pace
You’re a Panda, you can get back in the race

Interlude

(There’s a Panda inside everyone
You just have to look deep enough
Go on! Find your Panda)

Verse 2

Sometimes you’re treading water, short of breath
And find yourself starting to sink
Sometimes you’re feeling down, you’re feeling out
But you know you can come back from the brink

You’ve got to find the path of the Panda
It’s all laid out right in front of you

So if you ever find your forehand’s fading
And serves just won’t go in
Just remember you’re a Panda (come on!)
And find the strength to win

(Yeah!)

Chorus 2

Go Pandas, go Pandas, we’re few but we are good
A rare breed, we’re Pandas, but we are not endangered (no, no)
There’ll be winners’ dinners and gold medals for sure
‘Cos the Pandas will fight forever more

Chorus 3

Go Pandas, go Pandas, and do it for the team
Go Pandas, go Pandas, be the best you’ve ever been
If you look inside yourself you’ll see how good you really are
You’re a Panda, and Pandas will go far!

Coda

If you look inside yourself you’ll see how good you really are
You’re a Panda, Peizheng Panda, you’re a Panda and you can be a star!

Lyrics

Verse 1

There’s a row of benches along the lake
A perfect place to take a break
A scenic spot that everyone adores

While the weeping willows chaperone
Parents don’t mind leaving kids alone
And dragonflies are zipping around in scores

But when the sun begins to set
The scene is not the same
Streetlights shine and shadows are cast
And the road deserves a new name

Chorus

Lovers’ Lane, where you can go
To let your feelings overflow
It’s the most romantic place for miles around

Lovers’ Lane, where they don’t mind
Leave your inhibitions all behind
If you’re looking for friends who simply cannot be found
Go down to Lovers’ Lane

Verse 2

Cuddling couples everywhere
Too engrossed to care if you stare
And frogs and crickets are crooning all around

A bunch of bats flying overhead
But they won’t tell a single word you’ve said
Their sonar’s picking up nothing but a smacking sound

You’ve found the perfect place to go
To pretend that you’re alone
The illusion of seclusion is a precious gift
And for now this bench is your own

Chorus 2

Lovers’ Lane, where you can go
To let your feelings overflow
It’s the most romantic place for miles around

Lovers’ Lane, where they don’t mind
Leave your inhibitions all behind
If you’re looking for friends who simply cannot be found

Chorus 3

Lovers’ Lane, where you’ll stay warm
And it’s better than in front of the dorm
It’s the hottest hangout spot to stay up late

Lovers’ Lane, where anything goes
As morning class attendance shows
It’s a verified venue to sure to woo your date

Lyrics and Chords

Verse 1

Well I just won the Nobel Prize
And I just fixed the hole in the ozone layer
But you’ll never know and it’s no surprise
‘Cause you keep going on about your shoes, your nails, your hair

And that’s the way it always is
You would fail a friendship quiz
But let’s switch roles today
Now I finally get to say

Chorus 1

It’s all about me
And who I want to be
And where I want to go
And what I want to see

It’s not about you
And all that you’ve been through
I know you’ll never learn
So it’s finally my turn
It’s all about me

Verse 2

I’m afraid I’ve started to regret
How we met ten years ago and you haven’t stopped talking yet
You told me your life story, you’ve read me your whole blog
But you don’t know jack about me, didn’t even know I have a dog

Well I’ve finally had enough
Sorry if this is tough
Been as patient as I can
But starting now, new plan

Bridge

I’ve got some breaking news
I know it’s sad but true
‘Cause you think the whole wide world
Revolves around you

If the world’s a stage
You’re a spotlight hog
But now it’s your turn
To listen to my monologue

Chorus 2

It’s all about me
And who I want to be
And where I want to go
And what I want to see

It’s not about you
So whatcha gonna do?
I knew you’d never learn
So it’s finally my turn
It’s all about me
