Stole the ShowKygo feat. Parson JamesDarling, darling, oh, turn the lights back on nowWatching, watching, as the credits all roll downCrying, crying, you know we’re playing to a full house, houseNo heroes, villains, one to blame
While wilted roses fill the stage
And the thrill, the thrill is gone
Our debut was a masterpiece
But in the end for you and me`
Oh, the show, it can’t go onWe used to have it all, but now’s our curtain call
So hold for the applause, oh
And wave out to the crowd, and take our final bow
Oh, it’s our time to go, but at least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the showAt least we stole the showDarling, darling, you know that we are sold out
This is fading, but the band plays on now
We’re crying, crying, so let the velvet roll down, downNo heroes, villains, one to blame
While wilted roses fill the stage
And the thrill, the thrill is gone
Our debut was a masterpiece
Our lines we read so perfectly
But the show, it can’t go onWe used to have it all, but now’s our curtain call
So hold for the applause, oh
And wave out to the crowd, and take our final bow
Oh, it’s our time to go, but at least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
Stole the showAt least we stole the show
Stole the show
At least we stole the show

“Jinhee Is Coming to Class”
by Class W2
You better watch out
You better not be late
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Jinhee is coming to class!
She’s making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out
Who was absent or not
Jinhee is coming to class!
She sees you when you’re speaking
She knows when you are on your phone
She knows if you’ve been bad or good
So speak English for goodness sake!
Oh, you better watch out
You better not WeChat
Better not text
I’m telling you why
Jinhee is coming to class!
Jinhee is coming to class!
