Bowmanville State of Mind

So this a project myself, Mitch, Kaitlyn and Travis did as part of our final project in Writer's Craft. The assignment required us to make a parody of the song, "Empire State of Mind". This was the result. After we made the project several of my group mates thought it would be a great idea to upload this... interesting piece to youtube. I agreed and said I would do so asap! ...so it's about 8 months later now and being the loyal person I am, I have kept to my word... sort of. :)

Anyways here it is! And it's safe to say we learned a valuable lesson that day. In case there was any confusion, we are not black. Enjoy!

also credits to Alex for helping with that luscious harmony ;)

Yeah,
Yeah, Imma up at Waverley
now I'm down on Baseline
right next to the Bowl (pause)
Where I be champ foreva,
Bowlin' strikes straight down center,
since I made it here,
I can make it anywhere,
yeah they love me everywhere.

I used to chill Memorial,
with all my Bowmanvillies,
now we there at Timmies,
coffee and a bagel please.
Warp to the Eastside,
checkin' out the town mall,
seen the Dollarama then you've pretty much seen it all.

Cruisin' down King St.
Smart car at the Metro,
drivin' all the way for a fill-up at Petro,
me I'm up at Harvey's,
havin' me a milkshake,
now I live on Scugog,
and I brought my boys with me.

Pickin' up some Hank's Fries, grabbin' me a large size,
sitting rinkside Gaels and Eagles and the crowd cries,
Man I have a great time, hope that I neva leave,
tell by my sarcasm that I most definitely from...

(chorus)
Bow-man-villllllllllllle,
Sleepy town where our dreams are made of,
There's not much you can do,
Now you're in Bow-man-villllllllllle,
there's freakin' fields all around you,
lakeside air will inspire you,
for now we're in Bowman, Bowman, Bow-man-villlllllllllle


I'm down at the Cineplex, (said while chorus is still going)
swipin' up my scene card no 3D for Avatar,
Buying in the Zellers till they got otha half of Walmart,
sure I guess that sounds bad, but it could be worse though,
we got an empty Rona we use for drivin' yo.

Now I'm listenin' to my tunes,
you know they're for the white boys.
Clarington Central
Home of the Coyotes,
Ross Tilley, J. Hobbs, Waverley, etcetera,
All them schools part this district of Kawaratha

When I walk down the streets, unicycle man knows my name,
Or maybe that's the walking guy you know they both look the same,
Travel down Concession, see what's left of Camp Thirty,
Yah that's right, Bowmanville's Prison camp is lookin' kinda dirty

Skip around gaily,
Yellow buses daily,
Maple Fest, NHL (pause) Josh Bailey,
George of the Jungle, rest in peace Bongo,
Long live the water tower.
I'm from the hick town that's...

(final chorus)
Bow-man-villllllllllllle,
Sleepy town where our dreams are made of,
There's not much you can do,
Now you're in Bow-man-villllllllllle,
there's freakin' fields all around you,
lakeside air will inspire you,
for now we're in Bowman, Bowman, Bow-man-villlllllllllle

@DnnRsr I think we wanted to use it, but we shot the video in January so all I could get was the entrance, which didn't look all that impressive. Even still, we managed to find shots of Bongo.
