Lyrics:

ELLA 18

INTRO:
Oooooooo-ooooooo hey Ella! Oooooooo-ooooooo hey Ella!
Eighteen years old finishin’ up high school
Got the grades for college, worked hard, you’re no fool
You got options for the place you want to stay
Can you think, are you happy, are you safe, can you play

Pick a major ask yourself that question
If you don’t mind, here’s a friendly suggestion
Finance makes you smart about your money
And if you can see some Law in your degree
No one will steal it from you, honey!

HA HA HA! HEE HEE HEE! HA HA HA! HEE HEE HEE!

Oooooooo-ooooooo hey Ella! Oooooooo-ooooooo hey Ella!
Treat other people like you wanna be treated
I hope you always look before you leap
Give your chair to someone who can’t walk as well as you
Don’t make any promises you don’t intend to keep

Pick a major ask yourself that question
If you don’t mind, here’s a friendly suggestion
Finance makes you smart about your money
And if you can see some Law in your degree
No one will steal it from you, honey!
HA HA HA! HEE HEE HEE! HA HA HA! HEE HEE HEE!
HA HA HA! HEE HEE HEE! HA HA HA! HEE HEE HEE!
Oooooooo-ooooooo hey Ella!
Oooooooo-ooooooo hey Ella!
