Today Is, Pt. 1 Lyrics > How to Dance in Ohio

[CAROLINE]
I get up at six-thirty
With the help of my alarm
The alarm that means "wake up, it's time to go"
Today is Monday

[DREW]
How to start the day right
'Cause if you don't start the day right
You know your day will be terrible, in my experience

[MARIDETH]
Soap should not smell like fruit;
Soap should smell like nothing at all...

[MALE COMPANY]
Today is Monday

[FEMALE COMPANY]
Today is Tuesday

[MALE COMPANY, overlapping]
Today is Wednesday...

[MEL]
Ohio in winter is pretty

[TOMMY]
It's pretty depressing;
It's gray every day here, and cold!

[REMY]
So layer when you're dressing:
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, overcoat

[MEL, overlapping]
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, overcoat

[TOMMY, overlapping]
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, ov?rcoat

[GROUP]
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, overcoat...
The W?ather Channel said there could be a storm;
It's important that you dress to stay warm
In Ohio!

[CAROLINE]
Today is Thursday:
It's my first year of college
I take the bus to get to class
Greet the driver hello, sit in the front row
Today is Friday
[MALE GROUP, overlapping]
Today is Friday

[FEMALE GROUP, overlapping]
Today is Friday

[GROUP]
Today is...
Going places, I am going places
There are places I need to be

[JESSICA]
I mean that literally

[GROUP]
But, most of the spaces that I want to get to
Were not designed for me

[JESSICA]
It's annoying how often I'm stranded alone
And my government transport can't be bothered to pick up the phone
Mom, the driver won't pick up his phone...

[REMY]
I'm Remy, and this is my new cosplay channel
Today's look is '90s Grunge, with ripped jeans and old flannel
[TOMMY]
Seatbelt buckled, hands at ten and at two
It's important that you check your rear view
In Ohio...

[MEL]
Do you know how your habits are formed?
Doing the same thing over and over

[MALE GROUP]
Today is Monday...

[MEL]
In time, conditioning parts of your brain

[MALE GROUP]
Today is Tuesday...

[GROUP]
That's what we do in Ohio
Doing the same thing over and over

[DREW]
Today is Wednesday

[REMY]
Today is Thursday

[JESSICA]
Like lines in a play, or songs that we grade

[TOMMY]
Hello, how are you? Thanks, I'm fine

[GROUP]
Hello, how are you? Thanks, I'm fine

[REMY]
I say the words, but are they mine?

[GROUP]
Hello, how are you? Thanks, I'm fine

[DREW]
But when you say a word so many times
It doesn't sound right any more
Routine

[GROUP]
Routine, routine, routine, routine, routine, routine

[MALE GROUP]
Who are we doing it
[with rest of GROUP] For?

[every member of the GROUP overlaps to form the next Chorus]

[TOMMY, spoken]
I'm sorry, can we just take a break for a moment? There's a lot going on
Thank you
