When You're Going to Solla Sollew

about

I wrote this a long time ago for a friend of mine who had stayed (and continued to stay) at a job that made him miserable.

lyrics

When you’re going to Solla Sollew
Copyright 2002 by Mary Crowell
inspired by Dr. Seuss’s
I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew

When you’re going to Solla Sollew
Trou–bles keep follow ––following you!
You try leaving them home,
But they’re determined to roam.

Sneaking up and at–tack–ing you on all sides.

While you’re walking on treacherous ground.
There are those dragging dragging you down.
They stop to see how you fare.

They say they really do care.

Somehow you are the one who does it all.

Some folks help you through rocky terrains.

O–thers en–dea–vor to put you in chains.

It’s hard to tell them apart,
But here’s where to make a good start.

Ask yourself what they want from you when it’s done.

Drink down dregs of your bitterness cup.

Lie down like they say, and you’ll never get up.
Rise up and start to get wise.
They’ll keep telling you lies.

Now you know that it all depends on you.

You should go and acquire a new bat.
You have been kinda dreaming ‘bout that.
You’re just a little bit scared.

That’s something you’ve never dared

Stepping out for yourself is something new.

When you’re going to Solla Sollew

Trou–bles keep follow ––following you!
With you they’re gonna roam.

Might as well stay at home

You’re the one who can solve them one by one

Doors are locked down at Solla Sollew,

Prob–lems that bother bother them too.
No Escaping it all,

No ignoring the call.

Do what’s right; it’s time to fight
For You. For you. For you. For you.
