Roller coaster poster boy
Frightens friend just for joy
Shakes her as they climb so high
Tells her that they all could die

He calms her that he did inspect
Every crack and huge defect
Look at how the loops will sway
Looks as if it’s judgment day

Close your eyes and you’ll be sick
But really that’s a sneaky trick
For at the time your going up
Is quiet time for throwing up

Clackety clackety clackety clack
Guess there is no turning back
Look your face is turning white
Dizzy at this swelling height

Don’t look down, wait, what is that?
Looks as if you’ve lost you’re hat
I was kidding about your hat
Looks like vomit will go splat

Here we are the biggest drop
Look! a lever to make it stop
ONLY KIDDING, HERE WE GOOOOOOOO
You raise your arms to heaven knows

Your hair is whipping in the breeze
For as we pull a couple gees
Round and round and up and down
Soon we both will kiss the ground

I asked you how you liked the ride
You couldn’t keep it all inside
We jumped the line and ran on back
To ride the rails of coaster track

Every time we reach the top
And gaze upon that awesome drop
We reach, in fun, for phantom lever
And face our fears as friends forever
