Clark, Dodie - Savings Song Lyrics
When I was no more than this high,
not a shed of experience in sight,
every single precious Friday,
two shiny banknotes would come my way,
I guess I'd put at least one in savings,
Why not? I've just been paid,
thank you sir I'll take them today!
I'm not too broke and boy I'm stoked to have these.
So every weekend I would spend,
shoes and books and coloured pens,
but prioritisation was definitely key,
what did I want and what did I need,
yes I'd always save some just in case,
Why not? I've just been paid,
thank you sir I'll take them today!
I'm not too broke and boy I'm stoked to these.
A few years passed and up you grew,
it was time to say goodbye to little rooms,
more than two notes were coming your way,
but you'd be spending more than what you were paid.
My favourite band is coming to town,
tickets are on sale and time is running out,
should I save or should I spend,
adulthood's too difficult to comprehend.
But Dodie, Dodie can't you see,
you've always managed money so perfectly,
save and spend just like you have been,
it's not as scary as you might be thinking,
prioritise and save away,
you'll still have some left to see me play.
Why not? I've just been paid, thank you sir I'll take them today!
I'm not too broke and boy I'm stoked to have these.

Clark, Dodie Savings Song Comments
I didn't know how much I wanted to see Dodie as a lil child! 😁
isthat emma blackery on the wall
i mean this is a great vid and all but all i could think about was how weird Dodie's makeup is
Seeing doddies teeny weeny ukulele then bry's massive guitar was just so funny ( 1:58 )
DODIE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT
DODIE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT IN THIS AHHH
Throwback to when they were still Dodie Clark and BriBry
Why did Dodie back then always have bruises on her knees?
This was the first one of Dodies songs I heard and how I fell in love with her
Barclays life skills came into my school today about money!
Does Bri have a Harry Potter necklace on? It looks like the deathly hallows symbol
Anyone else notice the little room reference?
Dodie is really tan here :O
my fav part is when Bry says DOEEDEE DODEE can't you see 2:27
+Louise LF every time LOL
OMG what did you do to poor Dodies face?
Such life! :)))))
what a great song, i can totally relate lol
you both look gorgeous in this video omg
Such a gorgeous voice, but what did they do to your face :')
Dodie, your makeup and hair looks flawless!! Loved the video and song too! :)
does that guys dad still love him?
@AnimalLover24561 that was the longest response time I have ever seen
@Rusty Shackleford I got a life out of youtube. Do you not?
other than Michaelcthulhu videos,yes I do.
@Rusty Shackleford Clearly not
dude,I just got home from working 8-6:30 at some shit warehouse. How I relax in the few hours I'm awake before work is none of your business.
THE MAKE UP
Oh god dodie what did they do to your face 😱
OMIGOD BRIBRY 😭😭😭 I love you ❤️❤️❤️ Adventure Time 🙌🏻
hats off, well thought through sponsored video and its good stuff, well done everyone!
Loved it guys 😍
"When I was young..." Haha, that's cute.
Dodie looks so different here!
it feels really funny seeing dodie wear so much make up!
LOVED IT!! Now I really want strawberry laces
Dodie looks so pretty omg
"Saying good bye to little rooms" And that was when I got this huge grin on my face that I can't seem to shake off. It was like a little nudge towards the song and I don't know now I'm just happy haha.
I love you guys ^-^
The chords and melody to this are so silly and pretty x
I've always been good at saving. But that's just because I really like possessing money so if I want something I think about it FOREVER.
Like, let's say I want to buy something online.
Me: Hm, if I spend $50 I get free shipping. So let's see how close I can get to that. I don't want to spend much more.
Me: Well, $50 is a lot of money. Do I really need all of this? I'm going to think it over
Me: This is all junk. I don't need junk! What am I even going to do with this? I'm perfectly happy without it. (OR) My old stuff is still perfectly usable! I shouldn't buy new things until I'm out of old stuff!
Me: No, I should treat myself once in a while. I keep looking back here, that means I want it. Still....
Me: It's been over a month. If I waited this long it must mean I don't want it that bad.
And that's how I rarely buy anything.
My last big purchase was theater tickets. No remorse there. The tickets were $35, which isn't terrible for live theater (though I shelled out $70 because I wanted to make sure my friend and I were sitting next to each other/she didn't have the money at the time but I'm sure she'll pay me back so it's nbd).
I also have an annual pass to Disney that I pay about $40 for every month, and sometimes I buy food, nail polish, makeup, or other stuff like that.
For the most part though I'm lucky in that my parents pay for most of my stuff.
So I'm able to save most of my money for the future. (#1 option being travel, #2 would be a car, and then #3 would be not starving to death on the streets)
Dodie and Bry always manage to make me smile. ^^
"It was time to say goodbye to little rooms"
THE TEARS
I don't get it... (English is my second language though)
Edit: nevermind it's a song she wrote moving out
First thing you should learn about money is not to get involved with credit cards. They cause way more trouble than it's worth. If you don't have enough money for something then don't buy it and just save up. Don't just whip out a credit card and "pay for it later." You'll suffer the consequences for it.
@CastleFlameGal I think that it can be OK to have a credit card at a young age because you can start building up good credit. But if you don't have great impulse control they can be really bad news.
The key is to pay off the entire balance, not just the minimum balance, so that you don't have to pay any interest.
Still I can see how tempting it must be for some people to overspend.
Good work guys!!
"It was time to say goodbye to little rooms."
I see what you did there ;)
I don't... can you explain it to me? (English is my second language)
Edit: nevermind it's a song she wrote moving out
Lyrics? :(
Little Dodie is so cute :)
This song is the cutest oh my god.
"It was time to say goodbye to Little Rooms" This is the best line ever. *claps*
Dodie looks so pretty in this on my gosh
SUCH A CATCHY SONG
last year i had to say a 5 minute speech on budgeting and use visuals and this would've been PERFECT to show my class.
this was super insightful and cute ily both xx
@teen angst Ahh, sorry we didn't make the video sooner. Glad you found it insightful! Make sure you check out the LifeSkills website, it's got loads of interesting info that'll help you prepare for the world of work & might help with future class presentations, too ;) http://bit.ly/RegisterLifeSkills
Oh no no this is so not Dodie
I love the song, and you're both great, but this is not you :/
wait so if Dodie has long hair in the intro then that means you've been keeping this a secret for quite some time now xD
They told us some of it, dodie was live tweeting the strawberry lace munching and they even talked about this after the McFly cover on Dodie's Channel! ^~^ 💓🌸
I'm probably the only that thought this but (to me at least) Dodie looked an awful lot like Sophie Turner in this video, and trust me, that is DEFINITELY not a bad thing. The song was fantastic and you guys were fantastic too!
Dodie, you never cease to amaze me xx (is that a saying?!) 😂💖
**********brioritize
ITS SAYS BRIBRY HELP
I see the sneaky strawberry laces you put in it ;))
Love love loved it and its actually made me realise that I can save and spend easily if I was like younger me too!
@Zohey That's great! Glad you found it helpful :) make sure you subscribe - we've got another exciting video with Dodie & Bry next Thursday!

@LifeSkills created with Barclays actually, it's doddledddle...
@British Llama They've changed it now.
such a cute song, i love the colouring of the video too :D
Bribry and Dodie are like angels
I love this :)
This is super cute but I couldn't stop questioning the amount of foundation on Dodie's little face.... Don't do that, she's bootiful without the face goo!
There's nothing wrong with a little bit of paint!
@RonnaaFoogle SOMEONE DID MY MAKEUP LOL
@RonnaaFoogle Oh you're completely right, it's all part of her disguise
This is beautiful!!
throwback to long haired dodie😱 (throwback to like last week lmao)
@Kats Channel i was already so used to the new hair (it looks so good) that I didn't recognise her for a second!
@Kats Channel If only we'd been able to film young Dodie with long hair and 'now Dodie' with short hair! There's another throwback in this week's video with @Bri's song all about confidence too, check it out and let us know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5hEBQkf3l0

@Bri I didnt like it... I LOVED it!
Throwback to Dodie with long hair and some lad called "bribry"
@Bri i really did like this!!! this is a sponsorship deal done in the best way <3
+Bry , Great stuff . Both of you are delightful and very talented.
Haha the irony is the fact that we went short for food for a bit to afford the tickets to see you guys... Was so worth it... After meeting you guys I cried cause it seemed so unreal. We are slowly putting money away for the wedding and can't wait to see you guys again. Sorry it's taking so long, I refuse to get a credit card or have debts this early in life
This is kind of awkward to watch oops
I like the song though
