I'm Doing Cosplay Right - (original lyrics - SJones)

A song I wrote about attending a UK comic con and cosplaying and entering the cosplay competition and just that whole experience in general. Nice, catchy, feel good energy in the song.

[Verse 1]

Hear the clock, crack of dawn Got to get my cosplay on Because today is the day Hate my job, love my wife I have to get her something nice God, please help me win the cosplay comp-ay

[Pre-Chorus]

As you can see I've spent a lot of money On foam and paint and plastic And a helmet slightly funny

[Chorus]

I've spent every night making this right I've spent every night making this right Let's get this armor to Comic-Con I'm doing cosplay right Yeah, I'm doing cosplay right

[Verse 2]

Ten o'clock, right on time This queue just blows my mind Hey there, look, there's that guy Oh, how I love Background Guy Three Why isn't that Sylvester McCoy? Is that a Dalek singing YMCA?

[Pre-Chorus]

There's people around me Asking to take a photo of me My cheeks are turning crimson But I'm grinning proudly

[Chorus]

I've spent every night making this right I've spent every night making this right Here's hoping nothing does go wrong I'm doing cosplay right Yeah, I'm doing cosplay right

[Verse 3]

Three o'clock, on the dot Time to be a superstar It's time for the cosplay competition Here I go, strut my stuff Please let the shoulder pads stay up I'm ready for my big submission

[Pre-Chorus]

And I see A sea of faces in front of me The judges raise their clipboards And someone shouts, "Go, three!"

[Chorus]

I've spent every night making this right I've spent every night making this right Damn, do I love Comic-Con I'm doing cosplay right Yeah, I'm doing cosplay right

[Bridge]

If the visor falls, I'll carry on If the boots split, I'll still march on Every crooked seam and glue-gun scar Got me exactly where we are

[Final Chorus]

I've spent every night making this right I've spent every night making this right Let's get this armor to Comic-Con I'm doing cosplay right I've spent every night making this right I've spent every night making this right Win or lose, what a brilliant day I'm doing cosplay right Yeah, I'm doing cosplay right

[Outro]

Comic-Con, here we go Strike a pose and steal the show Comic-Con, here we go I'm doing cosplay right!
