Ruby Gloom Song Lyrics

I thought that it would be useful to have the lyrics from some of the songs from Ruby Gloom written down so here are the ones that I have so far.

Theme

So today we're gonna, *
Take the time to show ya,
The B-B-Bright side of the dark side.
Oh we think you oughta,
No you really gotta,
See the B-B-Bright side of the dark side.

(Ruby Gloom - Ruby Gloom)

We're gonna show you why,
There's more than meets the eye,
The B-B-Bright side of the dark side.
Oh we think you oughta,
No you really gotta,
See the B-B-Bright side of the dark side.

(Ruby Gloom- Ruby Gloom -- Ruby Gloom - Ruby Gloom)

*An alternate version repeats the first verse three times.

Alternate Theme

OoooOooooOooOoo
OooooOoooOooOOo

In our town*
She's the happiest around
no darkness will get her down
and they call her Ruby Gloom

OooooOOoooooOOoo

Ruby, Ruby Gloom

OooooOOoooooOOoo

Ruby, Ruby gloom

Don't be a poltergeist*
Everything will be alright
sit down in her room
and come and visit Ruby Gloom

------------------------------------------------------
*Unsure of the correct lyrics to these lines

Train Wreck

Is your ship sinking?
Did you know that's arsenic you're drinking?
Are you buried in ice caps? Did that bridge you're on collapse?
Did that place you're in explode?
Oh that's why we're singing this ode.*

And oh what the heck.
Throw in a Train Wreck.
Oh what the heck.
Throw in a Train Wreck.

*This line is removed in some versions

What's the big deal?

What's the big deal?
What's all the Biz'?
Life could be worse then it usually is.

Hold your head high,
So life can look you in the eye.
What's the big deal?
Don't count scars.
Things could be worse then they usually are.

When you're feeling crummy,
Like you could use a little sugar or honey.
What's the big deal?
Don't count scars.
Things could be worse then they usually are.

When you need a break,
No time to think about your mistakes.
What's the big deal?
What's all the Biz'?
Life could be worse then it usually is.

The Family




You may feel quite alone
Buy hear this simple tone
We take care of our own!
It's called a family.

Let me give you a piece of advice
No need to look over your shoulder twice
We got your back see, we're nice!
It's called a family.

Are you listening to the score?
Ruby and them, who could ask for more?
I never knew it before!
It's called a family.
It's called my family.
It's called my family.

It's called the family.

You may feel quite alone
Bit hear this simple tone
We take care of our own!
It's called the family.

It's more than okay
To be part of this frey
From this group I'll never stray.
It's called the family.
It's called the family.
It's called the family.
It's called the family.
It's called the family.
It's called the fan- I mean the family.
It's called the family.
The family.

Where you Goin' / Who am I?



I'm on my way!
Yeah we're gonna get there!
Wish I could stay
But I gotta be somewhere.
(Hey Frank, can I come too?)

Where you goin'?
We gotta get there soon!
Where you goin'?
Gotta oh before the monsoon!
(Oh that Misery!)

Goin' here
Goin' there
Got to get to my eclair.
(That's Poe for ya!)

Goin' here
Goin' there
And the travel makes me beware!
(Good old Scaredy! He sure knows who he is.)

If you know who you are
You'll figure out your rising star.

If you know where you've been
You'll go to places with a grin.

Where you goin'?
Where you goin'?
This goodbye is getting drawn(?)
Goin' once, goin' twice
Going, going, gone!

Where'm I goin'?
I'm not knowin'.
Where've I been?
Good question.
Nothing feels right
I can't even find my light.

Who am I?
So blue am I.
Who am I?
With no clue am I.

Am I a Smith or a Jones?
I don't feel it in my bones.
If only it were clear
It would be easier to cheer.

Oh, who am I?
Misconstrued am I.
All askewed am I.
Poo-pooed am I.
I feel like a dog that's gone astray.
Someone please tell me my D.N.A.!

Who am I?
In a stew am I.
Worn through am I.
Really unglued am I.

Where you goin', I'm not knowing.
Where you goin', I'm not knowing.
Where you goin', I'm not knowing.
Where you goin', I'm not knowing!

Where you goin I'm not knowing.

Bright Side

1

You just have to...
Look on the bright side!

Thanks, but right now, the bright side is more of a barely enough light side.

(Alright then!)

Look on the just barely enough light side,
That's the right side to see.

(Hmm, I don't get it...)

And if you don't get it,
forget it don't sweat it.

(but the thing is Ruby...)

Or fret it!
There's never enough cause to worry.

(Really?)

You just gotta remember you can open lot's of doors
even closed one don't ignore.

(Uh Ruby, Ruby!?)
When you're skipping in the glade
time to make some lemonade.
You just gotta embrace each day.

(HEY!)

That's right, and shout out a big hey!

Skullboy what else can I say?
Things shouldn't like work when they're play,
To the fullest live your life every day...
(Ooops)
I guess I've just run out of cliche's.

(That's okay Ruby, I think I get it now.)

So in conclusion
In case there is confusion
In this little ditty of (try?)
To show that life's a fun run
When you look on the bright or the barely enough light side!!!

Look on the bright side!

Thanks Ruby, but right now, it's more of a barely enough light side.
There's a barely enough light side?

Look on the bright side!

But what if it hurts your eyes?

If you look long enough,
The View wont be so Rough!
When I'm scared and I feel like whining?
Know there's always a silver lining!

When my bummed-out-ness starts growing?
When the going gets bummed
The bummed out get going!

So I guess you're saying
This musical aside
That we really must try
To make sure we always have a fun run!

(That's it, you're getting it!)

Look on the bright or the barely enough light side!
By side!
By side!
By side!!!!

Dark and Dawn

Sometimes it's not easy
being the Happiest Girl

Well maybe I'll take over
maybe I could give it a whirl

Don't worry Misery
that's just not you that's for me

I wish I could help out
I Wish I could bounce with glee

Well I don't mind I cheer friends up

And I don't mind being in this rut

I'm the dark!

I'm the dawn!

After all it's in our job description.

So I'll go on being cheerful

And I'll be all tearful

When things go wrong
I know I'm the buffer

And I'm okay
to just sit and suffer

I'm the dark!

I'm the dawn!

After all it's in our job description.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all I have for now. More coming soon.
