Hey, what do think about skateboarding?
Well, it's a little dangerous, I wouldn't try it
You look like you are having fun, and that's the main part
Yeah we are
Wood meets glue, glue meets wood
Then they build their neighborhood
Thirteen layers pressed up high
Traced with forms and cut to size
Paint meets board, board meets paint
From a screen some artist made
Finished product goes in box
Then gets sent to skateboard shop
Kid sees deck, on display
He likes it and wants to pay
First he needs some bolts and nuts
Griptape, bearings, wheels and trucks
Put together very careful
Or the clerk will get an earful
All he wants to do is skate
Once he hits the street they'll make
Contact, contact, three, two, one
Contact, contact, one, two, three
Boy loves board, board loves boy
This is more than just a toy
They go out and bomb some hills
Practice tricks and sharpen skills
Try some flips, catch some air
Take some trips, show some flare
Bond together, like they're friends
Wreck themselves and make amends
This is special, something sacred
And it's focused on the pavement
Wouldn't happen to some Earthlings
If they hadn't thought up surfing
Gravity has many uses
Once you feel adrenal juices
Flowing from your heart and soul
Find your purpose, then you'll know
Contact, contact, three, two, one
Contact, contact, one, two, three
It's fantastic and fun as long as they don't get carried away by it
And he does have his safety equipment, his helmet, gloves and pads, just for today
I think it's an all around healthy sport. What do you think? I don't know, I just ride them
Contact, contact, three, two, one
Contact, contact, one, two, three
You can't be there every minute watching everything they do, I guess
On the other hand, it does give them a lot of balance, and creates a little agility and ability
So I'm not objecting to it, but I'm curious to the safety aspects of it
The problem is, they do over crowd
