Rut #6-Kylie Cox

Provo Dream
(Set to the music of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream)


You think I'm pretty
With my modest clothing on
You think I'm funny
When I go to the Branbury Salon
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down

Before you met me
I was alright,
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now this February
We'll get married in no time, nooo time.

Let's go to Squaw Peak tonight
No regrets, just love.
We can eat froyo til we die
You and I
We'll be Cougs forever

You make me

Feel like I'm living the Provo Dream
The way you ride that scooter.
I can't stop
Baking for you.
But don't eat it all,
Don't eat it all.

My heart stopped
When you proposed to me.
Just one month.
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
We're getting married

Real soon, like real soon.

We drove to Springville
And visited Cracker Barrell
It was delicious, and
you bought BYU apparel.
I'm glad I found you
My spirituality will increase, 

I'm complete


Let's go to Squaw Peak tonight
No regrets, just love.
We can eat froyo until we die
You and I
We'll be Cougs forever

You make me

Feel like I'm living the Provo Dream
The way you ride that scooter.
I can't stop
Baking for you.
But don't eat it all,
Don't eat it all.


My heart stopped
When you proposed to me.
Just one month.
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
We're getting married
Real soon, like real soon.


Writing songs is really really difficult. If we are being honest, it was much easier for me to play off of someone else's already written music. It is really hard to write "poetry" in this meter, especially if you are trying to go to the beat of someone else's song. The themes in this song are not necessarily how I feel on a day to day basis...(obviously it is sarcastic), but i mean, sometimes BYU holds true to the stereotypes we associate with it. I also am pretty sure I could get kicked out of BYU for mine, so if we could not show it around that would be great. :]

  1. I agree! It's so much easier to write a parody.

    Your song was very funny :)
