Lyrics:
MARCY
Every language easy
Easy as the recipe for making Jell-O
I Speak Six Languages
And I can say hello
In at least seven more

MS. PERETTI (spoken)
Shes also a champion rugby player.

MARCY
To excel in athletics is not difficult if one has the temperament
Apparently
I have the temperament
Yes I score some goals
So unfazed am I
As my life Unscrolls
Unamazed am I
I dont like to brag
And I wont cause I dont have to
But

I Speak Six Languages
All-American in hockey
And anything I do
I do without getting sore
I Speak Six Languages
And I like the theme from Rocky
Though I play Mozart more

GIRLS
Oooooooah

MARCY (GIRLS)
I achieve my goals (Aaaaah)
So unfazed am I
As my life unscrolls (Aaaaah)
Unamazed am I
Winning is a job (Winning is a job)
And I get no real enjoyment (And she gets no real enjoyment)
But

MARCY [GIRLS]
Je peux parler six langues [Aaaaah]
Cada idioma es simple [Oooooh]
Jerr-o oh yo no recipeo yesashides [Sashades]
Ja gavaru shetz yatzukim [Yatzukim]
V'ani yodat shalom [Yodat shalom]

MARCY, GIRLS
Im noch mindstens sieben mehr

MARCY
I Speak Six Languages
I am sick and tired
Of always being the best
And the brightest
At every mass
Six lousy languages
And for my height Im the lightest
Of the girls in my class

GIRLS
She knows six languages

MARCY (spoken) [GIRLS] (sung)
Thats 1[She knows], 2[She knows],
3[She knows], 4[She knows], 5[She knows]

ALL
Six!

[caspermydog]

I did a Google search and pasted the first lyrics I found, without comparing them with what was sung. Glad you enjoy the video.

[nicrouleau]

EMBO!! you're amazing!! miss you!! come play with me in NYC!!

[caspermydog]

Nic

We miss your duets and a capella singing with Emily. You were and continue to be phenomenal! Can't post the url in this reply but everyone should see your song "Flight" on youtube.

She too has been doing musical theater about as long as you (your profile indicates you are 20 years old). And btw, she was offered this role on the national tour of this show a few weeks ago, using this video as one of her audition material. So the people who know must feel different.

[RosyMe180]

she's an awesome singer!

[ActiingisLifex3]

Amazing singer. But this song gets really annoying. It's been stuck in my head for like 2 weeks.

[azenswang999]

im playing Marcy Park for my community theater, LOVE this song :)

[sstephyd]

She is extremely talented, and were doing this show next year and this is the best version i have seen on youtube. She really should try for broadway.

[easylistener123]

to the replies: Ooo Brown. -_- *hope you picked up on that sarcasm* i've seen a 9 year old child perform (not just sing) waaay better. i just watched it again and, it was just lazily done. go watch some other videos of this song, i guarantee you this isn't the best.

[ActiingisLifex3]

This was an amazing performance! She was best at singing this song out of all the videos i've seen. Great job!(:

[aidenthemjking]

This was AMAZING! Great job! :D

[iminlovewithforks]

@easylistener123 she is really good at singing, and pretty good at acting, but you're acting like she was horrible. I've seen it performed several times too, and this is one of the best

[darksnow07]

does anyone know her name?

[Johnication]

very nice

GO EMILY! MY COUSIN!!!!!!!
