“Drag Down”
written and composed by: Emily Jones (c)2007

Cast in the moonlight
Thought it would feel right
Coyote chasing me
Tripping me
Tasting every little piece of me

Bats wingin’ their flight
Send forth no sight
They see more than me
Apparently attrocity is finding me

Settle up now
Settle up now
Settle up now
Hold on
Hold on
Drag down

“I Want To Be Wonder Woman”
written and composed by: Emily Jones (c)2007

When I was very little
Saw you on the TV
With your black flowing hair
Oh, why can’t that be me?
You were incognito
And nobody knew
About your Amazon secret
And your Lasso of Truth

Princess Diana
So favored was she
The Gods blessed her with
All that she would need
To kick major ass
On the Justice League
In my favorite comic
Oh, why can’t that be me?

I want to be Wonder Woman
I want to be an ambassador for truth
I want to fly in my invisible airplane
I want to be just like you

Beautiful as Aphrodite
Wise like Athena
Swifter than Mercury
Strong as Hercules
Could it be her amazing
Red boots with white stripes?
Or is it that she’s the daughter
Of Queen Hippolyte?

On Paradise Island
The Princess did live
With her sisters and her mother
So much love they did give
Amazon training
Was their way of life
Walking with the Goddesses
All day and all night

I want to be Wonder Woman
I want to be an ambassador for truth
I want to wear bullet deflecting gauntlets
I want to be just like you

Well the Nazis came
And man couldn’t defend
So an Amazon champion
Aphrodite would send
Princess Diana
In love with Steve Trevor
Knew she had to go
She was so clever

A mask she would wear
So she could compete
In the contest to see
Which Amazon it would be
Well Princess Diana
Yeah, she had it all
She claimed victory
Oh, why can’t that be me?

I want to be Wonder Woman
I want to be an ambassador for truth
I want to be my favorite superhero
I want to be just like you

Ode… to Wonder Woman
