Summertime 02:46
lyrics

The buzzin’ of the bees around the trees The sounds of the seagulls dancing in the breeze Ice cold ice cream makes my brain freeze Stuff up my nose makes me want to sneeze Sand, water, pollen, dust Achoo, Achoo, Gestunticht, Salud! Summertime, dancin’ away Summertime, playing in the sun Summertime, jumping in the waves Summertime, so much fun! Watching dolphins jumping in the sea All summer long we feel fun and free Surfin’, sunshine, feeling just fine You know when you see fireflies it’s finally time For what we’ve been waiting for all year long! Chorus: Summertime, dancing away… Slow- The wind starts to change, the air starts to cool In just a couple days we’ll be back at school But it ain’t over ‘til that first bell rings Until that moment you’ll hear us sing… we’ll sing… we’ll sing You’ll hear us scream! Chorus Summertime, dancin’ away…

Train to the Moon 03:21

All her life has been a whirlwind, Daddy’s been her lover, her best friend I’m her only son and she’s the most fun when she’s here with me She wears polka dots and cowboy hats, clicks her heels and talks real fast Says silly things and eats tofu chicken wings She’s gettin’ on the train to the moon, daddy Hope we’ll see her soon, daddy But she’s gone one way on this sunny Tuesday mornin’ We stand and wave her goodbye Waiting for that train to fly But it’s on it’s way come play with me daddy As we eat organic turkey franks, she says always give praise and thanks To the mighty mountains and little bitty ants, the oceans and the trees Love your neighbors, love your daddy Be nice to Aunt Nell and never be bratty And worship whatever God you please She’s gettin’ on the train to the moon, daddy Hope we’ll see her soon, daddy But she’s gone one way on this sunny Tuesday mornin’ We stand and wave her goodbye Waiting for that train to fly But it’s on its’ way come play with me daddy There came the day when she never came back I’m a big boy now, realize my mom was a little wack To this day I don’t know what she do Rock star, superstar, circus clown, Bullfighter, comic hero, who’d boogie down Maybe an astronaut on that train to the moon, how cool! She’s gettin’ on the train to the moon, daddy Hope we’ll see her soon, daddy But she’s gone one way on this sunny Tuesday mornin’ We stand and wave her goodbye Waiting for that train to fly But it’s on its’ way come play with me daddy It’s on its’ way come play with me daddy

Sing to Feel Alive 04:16
lyrics

I recognize the time we were so divine When we played all day, hanging with mommy Having no idea of the coming years In that moment in time, so alive, so divine I sing to feel alive, I want to laugh until I cry I want to love, I want to play Right here, right now, I want to stay Now ten years old, we’re going to school We’re stressed about test, thinking ‘bout who wins next Wanting nothing more that no more war In this moment in time, so alive, so divine I sing to feel alive, I want to laugh until I cry I want to love, I want to play Right here, right now, I want to stay Now teenage years, heartbreak and tears Fall nights, football games, kissing boys no names Finding me, now I see, growing wings to fly free Souring high toward the sky, so alive so divine I sing to feel alive, I want to laugh until I cry I want to love, I want to play Right here, right now, I want to stay I sing to feel alive, I want to laugh until I cry I want to feel my everyday You never know when it could be taken away When it could be taken away I sing to feel alive

Being Weird is Cool 02:51
lyrics

There’s always someone who thinks that you’re weird There’s always someone who’s weirder than you There’s always someone that you’re weirder than Being weird is cool! She stands out in a crowd and when she’s on stage She farts & she burps & she does her own thing She doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, 'cause…. Being weird is cool! There’s always someone who thinks that you’re weird There’s always someone who’s weirder than you There’s always someone that you’re weirder than Being weird is cool! On a long car ride making every truck beep I roll down my window to air out my feet I fight with my sisters to get the best seat, 'cause… Being weird is cool! There’s always someone who thinks that you’re weird There’s always someone who’s weirder than you There’s always someone that you’re weirder than Being weird is cool! She puts fingers in her ears to scratch out her throat When she needs a new sweater she makes friends with a goat She wears pink hair and butterfly wings & To any old fool, she sings, LA LA LA! There’s always someone who thinks that you’re weird There’s always someone who’s weirder than you There’s always someone that you’re weirder than Being weird is cool!

HoneyBabe 03:32

He will call her honey, she will call him babe And they will happily throughout their days And to know that when the sun goes down My soul mate, my best friend I found. I feel safe when you hold my hand Without saying much to me I know you understand When we walk, amongst the forest and the trees I feel you’ll be there, through eternity He will call her honey, she will call him babe And they will happily throughout their days And to know that when the sun goes down My soul mate, my best friend I found. I want you always by my side With our friends and family together we laugh until we cry You make great pancakes and I know when the earth shakes below You’ll be there to carry my home. He will call her honey, she will call him babe And they will happily throughout their days And to know that when the sun goes down My soul mate, my best friend I found.

Camelot 02:16
lyrics

When I closed my eyes last night, I had a dream that was so real to me There were dragons and castles and fairies There were villains and heroes but the best part of all Is when they saved me They saved me from the dark, I used to be afraid but now I’m not They saved me from the dark, I used to be afraid but now I’m not They brought me to a place They brought me to a place They brought me to a place, they call Camelot A place that once was dark, but now it’s not. When I closed my eyes last night, I had a dream that was so real to me There were dragons and castles and fairies There were villains and heroes but the best part of all Is when they saved me

It’s a Cleveland morning, everyone is yawning, the day is looking gray And so I said, we need to go to bed, but it’s a brand new day! So, let’s play Jose Hey, hey, hey, hey! It’s Thursday morning, I want to fly away to a field of dreams and wonder. It’s raining it’s pouring, the old man’s snoring I’ll fly above the thunder Fly me to my home It’s winter night, our homes are nice and cozy, our cheeks are nice and rosy We create, we dream, we write a tune and watch the rising moon. It’s April morning we’re running and jumping, but everything’s all wet It’s been raining all day, but we want to play, we’ll have to play inside. Come on our magical ride! Fly me to my home It’s Saturday night, the lights are bright, the show is on tonight, “that’s us” We’re singing and dancing, we’re movin’ and groovin’ We’re feeling all right and it’s a beautiful sight It’s a beautiful sight It’s a beautiful sight It ain’t time to go home!!

The New Jersey Song 04:00
lyrics
buy track
When I was growin’ up, I couldn’t wait to leave the town where I came from. But now I know better I’ve learned to appreciate and embrace where I came from. I began to realize and recognize it takes special people to make a town a town. I began to take notice that this town wouldn’t be here without them. Without the volunteer firemen. The boys I had a crush on in elementary school, Who are now geeks in middle school, They were cute, I used to think that too. New Jersey- let’s get this straight it’s not North but South Jersey. Right over the bridge from Philly An hour away from shore towns of Avalon, Ocean City, Sea Isle, Cape May, Atlantic City, Stone Harbor. Let’s not forget Wildwood. Never forget Wildwood. We got Sara, and wooder and cherry and yo and yous guys. We got soda and WaWa and diners and friends that last through our lives. We got cheesesteaks and hoagies and Eagles and Phillies and Mustangs. We got J.Ps and J.Ts and Tonys and Big Mikes and Jimmys and Dennys And Denises and Krisys and Kristies and Jennys. We got lots of Jennys in Wildwood. Let’s give thanks to our ACME supermarket cashiers. Our teachers and our coaches and they pump gas for you here We grow the best corn, tomatoes and cranberries We got sarcastic people both funny and caddy and We owe it all to our mommies and daddies. New Jersey- specifically talkin’ bout South Jersey Take 295 or Rt 70, or a scenic drive on the Turnpike to exits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and stop for a Slurpy at the local 7Eleven. New Jersey, you know what I’m talkin’ about in South Jersey We got the best pizza and cherry flavored water ice. From Camden to Medford, Pine Hill, Wenonah, West Collingswood Heights We got big hair, the boardwalk, casinos, Espositos and guidos We got plumbers, and fixers, and ‘Sixers and Flyers and When you need a new roof Rob Miller for hire! New Jersey, this song goes out to all of you in that Garden State To all of you my love and I appreciate, those who call me SARA… (above) Though it’s probably being contaminated, There’s something real, real good that sits in that water, That water in that tower, That tower next to Van Sciver School.

about

As we all know, times have changed but the need for kids to create, dream and express themselves has not. In fact, there is a need now, more than ever before. What started as livimg room songwriting sessions and backyeard performances blossomed into this collection of recorded songs and the birth of the HoneyBabes.

The HoneyBabes are Jordan Meyer (age 11), Emily Meyer (age 12) and Haley Alber (age 15) all cousins growing up in South Jersey who have been singing and writing songs together since they could utter a tune. Upon meeting Jordan's mother, Sara was asked to teach the girls music theatre and songwriting. She immediately connected with the cousins, helping to turn the kids' ideas into songs. Three years later, this first ever Studio LuLoo singing group became the HoneyBabes: their name itself inspired by inspired from the HoneyBabes songs talking about love, friendship and soul mates: three words that that truly represent this group.

So fly with us to lands of castles, fairies and fireflies, ocean waves and sunny skies. Where we run, jump, dance and sing, eat jersey tomatoes and tofu chicken wings. Where we are saved from the dark, always make it through and truly believe that being weird is cool!

Peace, Love and Tranquility,
Sara O'Brien & the HoneyBabes
