Song Contest

Yes, this is a song contest. The lyrics are written by our resident iconoclast Jack Barnard with late inning relief from our founder Larry Goodman. Playful but to the heart, they pretty much tell the IYS story. So...if you’re a musician, or even a wanna-be, here’s a chance for you to shine. Keep in mind, at IYS, we welcome and embrace every genus of earthling — regardless of race, creed, color, sex or favorite Jersey Shores character. The same must be said for musical tastes. It takes all kinds. There won’t be just one winner. Whatever your fancy — be it rock, blues, folk, jazz, country, hip-hop or flip-flop — use all of part of the lyrics and put your best tune out there.

If Youre Single Song Lyrics

You like to hang out in the bar
Your taste in clothes is quite bizarre
You drive a really groovy sports car
You wanna be a super star
You teach a “make a money” seminar
Now I know what you do
Not who you are

Pardon my over-protection
I see you looking…do I pass your inspection.
Am I a worthy candidate for your affection
All I really want ..and have to offer ..is connection

Chorus

I’ve been wondering
If you’re Available……IF YOU’RE SINGLE
Don’t be SHY
SO AM I……

You can quote Shakespeare freely
You speak French and Swahili
You love waterskiing
And weekend refereeing
You can do a triple wheelie
You say you’re not so touchy-feely
You’re into sightseeing
Ok….. but who are you REALLY
At the core of your being.

Chorus

I’ve been wondering
If you’re Available…….IF YOU’RE SINGLE
Don’t be SHY
SO AM I

You really love to ride your bike
On long long treks near the old turnpike
You love to camp, you love to hike
You’re a rascal with an open mike

I thought we really connected
A match made in heaven
I just don’t wanna be one of seven

Chorus

I’ve been wondering
If your available……IF YOU’RE SINGLE
Don’t be SHY
SO AM I………


Are you a butcher, a baker , a candlestick maker
A mover, a shaker
A giver , a taker
A quack, a Quaker
A Pharaoh , a faker
A caregiver, a caretaker
A homemaker , a housebreaker
A bookie , a bookmaker
A lawmaker , a lawbreaker

And there’s something I want to know about you
Not so much your interests , not what you do
Not your favorite celebrity or your favorite car
I really want to know who you are.


Chorus

I’ve been wondering
If you’re available IF YOU’RE SINGLE
Don’t be SHY
SO AM I…..
IF YOU’RE SINGLE
Don’t be SHY
SO AM I……………………….
