Cast Of Victorious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooooh
Here's to the Mondays watching all the cars on the freeway
I ain't got a thing to do can I sit here next to you? and oh oh oh
Yeah I kinda wish I got paid cause my card got maxed out yesterday
Could you give me a shot and I'll work with what I got
Not a dollar in my pocket but I rock it like I ain't broke, you know?

Ooooh
Here's to us oh oh
Here's to us oooh here's to us oh oh
Here's to never winning first place
Here's to crying on your first date
Here's to every single heartbreak
Here's to us oooh here's to us

Here's to the mistakes
Somehow they always drop you in the right place
So lets go another round til the sky is falling down
And we'll laugh all the shakers and movers
Now who's the loser? What a joke

Ooooh
Here's to us oh oh
Here's to us oooh here's to us oh oh
Here's to never winning first place
Here's to crying on your first date
Here's to every single heart break
Here's to us oooh here's to us

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
I'm a player I'm a hater
But I swear you'd never know
Cause I've got a smile on
I'm an extra con that just got off parole
Could've been a contender a pretender
Like a brand I play the role
But I'm not so what and that's just how it goes

Yeah!
Ooooh
Here's to us oh oh
Here's to us oooh here's to us oh oh
Here's to never winning first place
Here's to crying on your first date
Here's to all the bad first dates
Here's to every single heartbreak
Here's to raining on your own parade
Here's to showing up anyway




Here's to us here's to us here's to
Here's to the Mondays

This song totally feels like the end of an era for Nickelodeon. Like a good send off.

IDK Gaming

I got the same feeling as well

Andrew

Yep, the era that started with Drake & Josh (arguably all the way back with the Amanda Show), and produced some true classics. Sam & Cat doesn't count. What was your favorite?
