Trampoline

Ten kids on the trampoline
Jumping in the day of spring
One falls off and breaks his neck
The others go ahead and sing:

"We didn't like him anyway
Caused trouble everyday
And besides he's a pain
And he always hogged the trampoline
Trampoline"

Jump up, jump down
Jump higher than you have before
Jump up, jump down
Jump higher than you have before

When I'm on the trampoline i can see everything
I can touch the sky
I can even feed the birds
As they are flying by

I can jump real high
I can touch the sky
Touch the sky

Jump up, jump down
Jump higher than you have before
Jump up, jump down
Jump higher than you have before

Jump higher than you have before
Jump up, jump down
Jump higher than you have before
Jump up, jump down

Rollerskating Queen

I first learned how to dance in '83
Four foot ten and skinny as a bee
I saw you across the rollerskating rink
I tried hard to have you notice me

I was far too shy
What would I say
If you where to skate my way?

I stood there feeling stupid by the wall
Hoping that you wouldn't see me fall
The DJ says this next one's a couple's dance
(I was wearing my red pants)
I stood there by the wall in a frozen stance

Ihen you skated up to me
"Dancing's easy you will see"
All my friend's could not believe
To see me dance with the rollerskating queen

Rollerskating queen
(Then you skated up to me)
Rollerskating queen
("Dancing's easy you will see")
Rollerskating queen
(All my friends could not believe)
Rollerskating queen
(To see me dance with the rollerskating queen)



Pigtails

Hey girl in the pigtails
You follow me around
You're shouting in laughter
Yeah you follow me around

My girl
Sweet smile
My girl
Stay awhile

Hey girl on the playground
You follow me around
Shouting in laughter
Yeah you follow me around


My girl
Sweet smile
My girl
Stay awhile

I would like to
Be with you all my life
If I could
You know I would
Yeah
