I waited impatiently to see what part I would be
Benjamin was the role I got
Eleven brothers and tons of colours, I'm telling you, there were a lot
That summer we performed Miss Saigon and Les Miz
This was only the beginning of my life in show biz
We sang and danced in A Little Bit of Broadway
"Be Kind To Your Parents" is what I had to say
Grease and Tommy were a lot of fun
My first lead role, but I was not yet done
Annie and Anne of Green Gables were soon to come
I stepped in paint in California, boy that was dumb
Next came Ragtime and the Wizard of Oz
I was the mayor of Munchkinland, I laid down the laws
Soon it was my chance to show them my stuff
Young Simba in Lion King, but I still hadn't had enough
Minnapolis was our first trip on the road
We tried to pack lightly but still had a load
My ankle was broken but I still tagged along
Belting out from audience, the words to the song
My first summer medley, there would be quite a few
I didn't mind, I was performing for you
I sand "Be Kind To Your Parents" once again
But I wasn't finished, it just couldn't be the end
Once again Les MIserables, and I even had the same part
It didn't matter, singing and dancing were in my heart
Josehp again, yes the same one as before
I was a narratore, I knew what was held in store
Florida was fun, many memories were shared
Like painting Evan's toenails, but he didn't care
The chaperones pulled a prank that made us all scream
Told us Brittany was lost, and then sprayed us with whipped cream
Tarzan came next, boy that was funky
After all, I got to play a teenaged monkey
After this was a medley of Disney songs
Santa Fe was what I sang, but not for long
Whistle Down THe Wind and Ragtime soon came
Emma Goldman was my part, I was getting used to the fame
Once on this Island was bound to be fun
The part of a storyteller was what I won
Once again we were off, on the road once more
Shopping in Mall of America, all of the stores
Continued on to Branson, Missouri
Our bus driver was awesome, great job Corey
In Search Of A Star was a voting game
They had trouble choosing, our talent was close and the same
Kids Sing Broadway was my first duet
"The Big Time" with Jeff, there was nothing to it
Witches and princes, and little girls with red hoods
I was the wife of the baker that day
My first stage kiss, but it was with Ryan, so that was okay
The junior group did Sound of Music as well
Do Re Mi, and the rest you can tell
Grease again, this time I was Jan
I was really sick, man oh man
Soon it was time for Into THe woods
Witches and princes, and little girls with red hoods
I was the wife of the baker that day
My first stage kiss, but it was with Ryan, so that was okay
The junior group did SOund of Music as well
Do Re Mi, and the rest you can tell
Grease again, this time I was Jan
I was really sick, man oh man
Footloose, Aida and some Lion King
A medley again, but there was lots to sing
Once Upon A Canada, I was plenty of parts
A hippy, a German girl and a narrator for starts
Some Les Miz and Rent, and a little bit of Hare
That performance was quite a scare
Unprepared, and nervous as can be
Atleast I sang with Joss, so that was easy
Our next performance came soon and we weren't quite ready
Our practices hadn't exactly gone steady
Beauty and the Beast was quite the show
I got the part of Belle, and was ready to go
Ragtime once again, the same part as well
I still was enjoying it, in case you can't tell
Then came Wicked and Wizard of Oz
This was it, my final applause
A close to the year, and this is my last
I wanted you all to know that I'll never forget my past
With a wave and a tear, and a thoughtful sigh
My time in JMTC has ended and it's time to say goodbye
It's finally time for me to move and go
You're the best director Janna, I'll ever know
There have been many good times, and of course some bad
So these tears are of joyful memories, but also of sad
No one can express the love that I feel
It's so strong that I can hardly believe it's real
The pain that I have as I try to leave and go
Trying to realize that this is my last show
JMTC you opened my heart to new dreams
I've been a part of you for nine years, though longer it seems
I hope that the friendships I made will never grow apart
After all, JMTC, you will always have a special place in my heart
