It’s so astounding
My heart is pounding
It truly is a grandiose day
All of my hard work
All the smug smirks
All of the pathetic cliches
They were worth it for this one moment
Worth it for this one PogieJoe-ment
It only took four years
And lots of sweat and tears
I haven’t sold out. I’m free.
Such a great day.
Inspite of no pay.
It is a small achievement
A total unbelievement
My YouTube anniversary

I say thank you to all subscribers
And even the occasional view
I poured my heart out
And never sold out
To a fault i’ve always been true
Memories were made
Creative display
I’m sorry i’m carrying on!
I’ll always be the same
No fortune or no fame
Big business won’t get me
Such a great day
Inspite of no pay
It is a small achievement
A total unbelivement
My YouTube anniversary!

Look at These Memories
02:08
|

Joe:
Look at these memories. Look what we’ve done.
Look how my YouTube has given such fun.
There’s nothing like watching memories rerun.
Ohhh the stories we’ve spun.
Recall the vid where Chef Gordon’s my bro?
So many times that we’ve filmed in the snow
Played the creepiest tree man you know
Ohhh the stories we’ve spun
We met “Weird Al” after a show
Our friends have all liked being in videos
Ben and Becca:
As far as you know
Joe:
I get the feeling you don’t care
Ben:
I’d have to say that’s rather fair.
Becca:
How bout all the wear and tear?
Joe:
But oh the stories we’ve spun!
It may have been hard
It may have been work
But look at all fun
We’ve told many tales
And lots of jokes
And more than a few puns
Ben:
I missed a party!
Becca:
I missed a dance!
Ben and Becca:
It’s time to put on your big-boy pants
Joe:
Yeah but remember my Facebook rant?
But oh the stories we’ve spun!
Remember the video all about Bob Ross?
Or that short film about my evil boss?
Apocalypse happened and our characters died
Slinkies in German...Now that was a ride!
C’mon guys. Look alive!
Oh the stories we’ve spun
Ben:
I don’t understand why you’re so obsessed
Becca:
Your YouTube channel’s a distraction at best
Joe:
But i taped that wasp and that spider mess
Oh the stories we’ve spun
Lucy:
I really love being a YouTube star!
Becca:
Sorry sis but that won’t get you far
Joe:
But “Oh Suzy!” really raised the bar
Oh the stories we’ve spun
Even though it seems like a lot of stress
That John Green short gave me a lot of success!
Joe:
Look at these memories. Look what we’ve done.
Look how it all has given such fun.
There’s nothing like watching memories rerun.
Ohhh the stories we’ve spun.
All:
Stories we’ve spun.

The Corporate World
03:04
|
|||
Anna:
Luxurious cars, Cuban cigars
A private jet that can take you beyond the stars
Swimming pools, exotic jewels
Unlimited wealth and movie-making tools
Your world is shrinking when you stand so still
Begin thinking how you’re gonna pay the bills
You’ve taken it as far as you can go
It’s time to give the corporate world PogieJoe
Joe:
Luxurious cars? Hm. I don’t smoke cigars.
Can you even breath among the stars?
I don’t need much. A room and such.
Sometimes money can be an awful crutch.
Anna:
You haven’t heard a word i said
Have you ever felt the warmth of a money bed?
Give up your constitution
I have a solution
To every need you can have
Eugene:
A private yacht!
Anna:
Or a submarine!
Nathaniel:
A mansion!
Anna:
With a movie screen!
Eugene:
A grizzly bear...
Anna (glares):
Who’s very tame!
Nathaniel:
An Oscar of gold
Anna:
And lots of fame!
Eugene:
An escalator?
Anna:
In your house
Nathaniel:
An orchestra
Anna:
To play you Strauss
Eugene:
A circus tent
Anna:
In your front lawn
Nathaniel:
A private chef
Anna:
And filet mignon
All three:
On and on and on and on and on
Anna:
Beautiful women, money to swim in
Leave mediocrity and begin winnin’
It’s time to leave the past behind
The business world’s so fine
To make money is not a crime
To make money is not a crime
To make money is not a crime

Smucky's Song
02:27
|
|||
Smucky:
People like me have a way to see
The world in a different way
The leaves of the tree are not simply green
They’re emerald and shades of maize
People say that i’m strange, maybe even deranged
Just like Picasso and Renoir
Michelangelo, Bill Shakespeare
And John Lasseter at pixar
It’s a beautiful place
A magical space
A place where we want to be
Run barefoot through the grass of your mind
Be footloose and fancy free
I see shapes in this world
Straight lines and curls
Can you see it? It’s wonderful stuff.
Take your mind off its leash
Try to capeesh
I don’t know about you but i can’t get enough
Is the sky really blue?
I see azure
Joe:
I do too!
Smucky:
I think we’re on the same page.
We have creative minds
We’re two of a kind
For this life we don’t need a wage.
Who wants a boss and profits and loss
We should be who we want to be
Can you imagine your station without imagination
We’re footloose and fancy free
Both:
In our world the reds are redder
The songs are sweeter and the stories are better
We do what we do just for its sake
It’s not about the sizzle, it’s about the steak
It’s a beautiful place
A magical space
A place where we want to be
Run barefoot through the grass of your mind
Be footloose and fancy free

On YouTube
04:41
|

Joe:
Glorious days in the sun’s rays
Playful ways with you, my friends
Writing scripts and silly quips
Location trips with you, my friends
Never sure what will be
But time well spent, for all to see
No matter where you go
No matter what you’ll be
Our friendships are what form us
In all integrity
The memories we’ve created
Are there for those to view
They’ll show our time together
Throughout the world and on YouTube
Your road may take you different places
Your life may twist and turn
Ben and Becca:
Well despite all of our complaining
There was a lot to earn
Jason:
We had a lot of laughs
Annabelle:
And shed a couple of tears
Ali:
We’ve shot a lot of memories
All:
Over the past four years
All:
No matter where you go
No matter what you’ll be
Our friendships are what form us
In all integrity
The memories we’ve created
Are there for those to view
They’ll show our time together
Throughout the world and on YouTube
Joe:
It takes balance and effort
To make a friendship work
And i’ll be a better friend now
And not be such a jerk
All:
Such a jerk!
No matter where you go
No matter what you’ll be
Our friendships are what form us
In all integrity
The memories we’ve created
Are there for those to view
They’ll show our time together
Throughout the world and on YouTube
And on YouTube!

One Day
02:35
|
|||
Joe:
It’s easier looking back
Than plunging ahead
It’s easy to stand still
And just stay in your bed
But you have to keep changin’
Life doesn’t stop
But don’t go crazy or you’re gonna drop
Balance in your life
Can get you to the top!
All:
Go where you are going
Do what you can do
But make your way together
With the people close to you
The day is what you make it
Don’t worry your life away
Tackle fears, embrace your love
It can happen all in one day
Chris:
Tomorrow may bring you surprises.
Anna, Nathaniel, Eugene, and Smucky:
Don’t hide your feelings with disguises
Annabelle:
Look before you leap
Jason:
But don’t be too afraid
Ben:
The mountain may be steep
Joe:
But the hard work of the climb will fade
All:
Go where you are going
Do what you can do
But make your way together
With the people close to you
The day is what you make it
Don’t worry your life away
Tackle fears, embrace your love
It can happen all in one day
Go where you are going
Do what you can do
But make your way together
With the people close to you
The day is what you make it
Don’t worry your life away
Tackle fears, embrace your love
It can happen all in one day
