Sing My Song is a song featured in the Big City Greens episode "Okay Karaoke". The song is sung by Tilly Green in the style of a soothing indie folk rock song and acts as the finale of the episode. Tilly has trouble trying to find the perfect song to identify with. However, she is informed by her brother Cricket that no such perfect song exists, prompting Tilly to make one up on the fly. The result is a beautiful melody that wins over her family and the entire crowd.
Lyrics[]
Tilly:
I am Tilly Green
And I thought there was no song for me
Kept lookin' for somethin' pre-written
A mold that I could fit in
But in all the tunes that I perused
Nothin' felt Tilly true
I didn't think I was such a puzzle,
All I wanted was something playful...
With just a hint of trouble...
So if you feel you're wrong and don't belong
Just do your own thing and say "So long"
Yeah, that's what I'm doin' when I sing this song
Yeah, it feels so good to sing my song
If you're a fish out of water
Maybe gotta dig your own lake
If you can't find the right color
You just gotta mix your own paint
Doesn't matter if you're different
So long as what you do is right for you
Your uniqueness is a treasure
Sharing differences brings us together
Ooooooh...
Tilly and entire cast:
If you feel you're wrong and don't belong
Just do your own thing and say "So long"
Yeah, that's what I'm doin' as I make up this song
Yeah, it feels so good...
To sing...
Along...
Tilly:
To Tilly's song.
