LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder
 
[Verse 1]
When the weekend rolls around, you know it’s time,
You’re all mine, baby, yeah, that’s the sign.
No late-night texts to those girls on your phone,
It’s just us tonight; don’t leave me alone.

[Chorus]
These are my rules, darling, can’t you see?
I’m the queen of this game; it’s all about me.
Answer my calls when I ring your line,
Play by my rules; everything will be fine.

[Verse 2]
Dress up nice when we step out together,
Hold my hand tight; let’s make this forever.
No wandering eyes when we’re out on the town,
Keep it real with me; don’t let me down.

[Chorus]
These are my rules, darling, can’t you see?
I’m the queen of this game; it’s all about me.
Answer my calls when I ring your line,
Play by my rules; everything will be fine.

[Bridge]
If these rules feel heavy and weigh on your heart,
There’s no hard feelings if you wanna depart.
The door's right there if you choose to go—
Just remember who made this love glow.

[Chorus]
These are my rules, darling, can’t you see?
I’m the queen of this game; it’s all about me.
Answer my calls when I ring your line,
Play by my rules; everything will be fine.

Joy To The World is a festive, nondenominational holiday album with music from around the globe. “There are 14 songs on Joy to the World,” says Thomas Lauderdale, “including well-known traditional holiday songs like Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas”…sung by China Forbes in English and by the incredible Saori Yuki… the Barbra Streisand of Japan… in Japanese. With the Pacific Youth Choir and the handbell choir Bells of the Cascades, we recorded “Shchedryk,” known in English-speaking countries as “Carol of the Bells,” with the original Ukrainian text which tells of a lark flying into the house at the start of a new year, thus bringing good fortune. We recorded a Hebrew prayer “Elohai N’tzor” with Ida Rae Cahana and Ari Shapiro and Patricia Costa Kim. (Ida Rae Cahana was for many years the canter at Central Synagogue in New York City and now lives in Portland… Ari Shapiro is the NPR White House correspondent… and accordionist Patricia Costa Kim was just named director of education at Experience Music Project in Seattle, but is also known by millions on YouTube as the keyboardist bandleader of Sonseed and their Christian ska song “Jesus is a friend of mine”). There’s a Chinese New Year song from 1946, a Felainspired version of “We Three kings,” a song in Ladino (the intersection of Spanish and Hebrew), “Silent Night” in the original German, as well as a verse in Arabic and another in English. The album ends with a samba parade of “Auld Lang Syne” with choruses in English, Arabic and French over the incredible percussion of the Lions of Batucada.” Lauderdale notes, “I love the holidays and all the music that goes with it. We strove to make an inclusive and non-denominational album that could be played anywhere in the world.”
