TERESA - BEING A GIRL SCOUT CD Single (2005)
(I LOVE) BEING A GIRL SCOUT
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
On my honor I will try to
Keep the promise that I made
To serve my God,to serve my country
Because it’s right to live that way
I’ll do my best to be courageous
Honest, friendly, fair and strong
Respect myself, respect all others
if I do that I can’t go wrong
Chorus:
I Love Being A Girl Scout
sisters everyone working, having fun
I want to help the world out
That’s what I’m about
I Love Being A Girl Scout
Across this land, around this earth
Girls like me reach out in peace
Differnet Skin, differenet language
Sharing in the same belief
President or astronaut
Doctor, Lawyer, C.P.A.
And a mother when I’m grown
Proud to hear my daughter say
(Repeat Chorus)
I Love Being A Girl Scout

TERESA - GIRLS OF COURAGE CD (2007)
GIRLS OF COURAGE
(Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.)
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
One woman dared to dream out loud
Dared to rise above the crowd
Proved girls could do anything
Empowered them and gave them wings
It’s good to look back where we’ve been
But this is now and that was then
Eighteen grew four million strong
Four million voices sing one song
Chorus:
Building Girls of Courage, confidence and character
Who make the world a better place
Models for the human race
Leaders of tomorrow and today
Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
The challenge of a brave new world
Is nothing for the Brave New Girl
She’s resourceful, good and kind
The sisterhood’s been redefined
The mission has been handed down
And our hearts are honor bound
Standing tough, standing proud
Unafraid to sing out loud
(Repeat Chorus)
The dream’s still heard around the world
Touching lives and changing girls
(Repeat Chorus)

COOL TO BE YOU, COOL TO BE ME
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
You turn every head everywhere you go
You’ve always been the one people want to know
It’s the way you dress, the way you move
Sometimes I forget you’re already you
If I’d tried to be somebody else
I’d lose myself
Chorus:
I like who I see, looking back at me
When I comb my hair, the girl who’s smiling there
Is happy and she’s free, she can finally see
It’s Cool To Be You, yeah it’s Cool To Be Me
We think we’re not good enough, that’s not smart
Perfection is the elusive part
When we stop looking out, and start looking in
We’ll find happiness in our own skin
If every single rainbow were painted read
How boring that would get
(Repeat Chorus)
I may not fit into your jeans
I may not dream the dreams you dream
But, I see there’s no one better at being me, than me
(Repeat Chorus)

WATCH ME FLY
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
Hey look at me, do you see what I see
How much I’ve learned all about me
You told me take the chance to dance every dance
And never be scared, no never be scared
How cool to believe I can be who I want to be
Chorus:
I found my dreams, I’ve spread my wings
You gave me strength and heart to try, try, try
You’re there for me where you’ll always be
Trust in your love and watch me fly, fly, fly
Hey look at you, do you see it too
Do you see me when you look at you
Your love showed me the way and I’m who I am today
‘Cause you were that strong, you were that strong
How cool to believe I can be what I want to be
(Repeat Chorus)

COOKIE TIME
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore / Pat Bunch
Chorus:
Cookie Time, Cookie Time, the cookies are here
It’s the Girl Scout Cookie Time time of year
Cookie Time, Cookie Time, the cookies are in
It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time, tell your friends
They skip, they walk, they run, they ride
Deliver while their mothers drive
They knock on doors and climb upstairs
Ride elevators everywhere
Cookie Time, Cookie Time, the cookies are here
It’s the Girl Scout Cookie Time time of year
Not rain, not snow, not sleet, not hail
Can stop the Girl Scout cookie sale
Cookie Time, Cookie Time, the cookies are here
It’s the Girl Scout Cookie Time time of year
Thin Mints and Tag-A-Longs
I hate it when my favorite’s gone
When the last box disappears
We’ll have to wait another year
(Repeat Chorus)
Nor rain, not snow, not sleet, not hail
Cookie Time, Cookie Time
Can stop the Girl Scout Cookie Sale
Cookie Time, Cookie Time
Unstoppable force, four million strong
Cookie Time, Cookie Time
They’re on a mission ‘til they’re gone
Cookie Time, Cookie Time
Tasted, tested, true and tried
Cookie Time, Cookie Time
American as apple pie
Cookie Time, Cookie Time

SISTERS FOREVER
(CAROL’S SONG)
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
When I’ve got a problem
You’re who I turn to
You always love me
Whatever I do
You’re the first one to tell me
When I’m right or wrong
And when I’m feeling weak and afraid
You make me strong
Chorus:
Sister (Sister) Sister(Sister)
I always feel better, when we’re together
Sister (Sister) Sister(Sister)
Wherever you are, you’re here in my heart
Miles apart or together, we’re sisters forever
It’s so amazing
That somebody loves me
Just as I am
Unconditionally
I can take on the world
‘Cause I know you care
And if I fall down and hurt myself
I know you’ll be there
(Repeat Chorus)
I know that you know
But if it doesn’t show
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you
(Repeat Chorus)

WHAT FRIENDS DO
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
(They) tell you when your hair looks funny
Buy you a coke when you’re out of money
Bring you a blanket when you feel bad
Hold your hand when you feel sad
Walk the walk just don’t talk it
Promise on their heart and cross it
That’s What Friends Do (2x)
Hug you when you really mean it
Say they’re sorry and always mean it
When you lose, when you win
Count on them to count you in
When you’re weak they’ll be strong
Tell you when you’re right or wrong
That’s What Friends Do (2x)
Believe in you, share with you
Comfort you, stand by you
That’s What Friends Do (2x)
Be there for you, care about you
Listen to you, always choose you
That’s What Friends Do (2x)
Bridge:
Friends are always who they seem
Keep your secrets, hear your dreams
That’s What Friends Do (2x)

G.S. OF THE U.S.A.
(JULIETTE’S RAP)
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
Destiny found Juliette in March of 1912
Ands the Lady from Savannah couldn’t keep it to herself
Juliette called up a friend and said let’s change the world
I’ve got a plan, let’s start tonight, it’s all about the girl
(You see) the boys have got this scouting thing, I’ve seen the things they do
They serve their country, camp and hike, no reason girls can’t too
G.S. Of The U.S.A. (2x)
Her family called her Daisy, there’s nothing Daisy wouldn’t do
It was normal when she stood on her head to show the world her shoes
She started out with eighteen girls, inspired by the guides
She brought scouting to the girl, and her dream turned the tides
(Now) that was fifty million girls ago, just look how far we’ve come
Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. are the girls who get it done
G.S. Of The U.S.A. (2x)
Daisies, Brownies, Juniors rule
Senior Scouts are always cool
United for the greater good
Rockin’ little sisterhood
G.S. Of The U.S.A. (2x)

ONCE A GIRL SCOUT
Written by Teresa / Bill Shore
We are strong, a sisterhood
We believe in all that’s good
We embrace adversity
It makes us stronger, sets us free
And as we walk the road of life
Faith and courage will be tried
We can face life’s twists and turns
Empowered by the lessons learned
Chorus:
Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout
We can do anything, watch us dance and hear us sing
Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout
We can move a mountain and
Move it like a grain of sand
Out-muscle men and never strain
They use their backs, we use our brains
We can make the dough, and bake it, too
There’s nothing in this world we can’t do
(Repeat Chorus)
