Lyrics

You know my baby bought a damn skateboard
I wish it coulda been a Chevy or Ford
She likes to leave it at the top of the steps
You know some day we're gonna break our necks
If she don't lose it like I said she should
I'm gonna turn it into firewood

I told my baby it was skateboard or me
Now I'm a cryin' 'cause she set me free
I said quit skatin better get to work
She said bug off I'm a god damn jerk
If she don't lose it like I said she should
I'm gonna turn it into firewood

She likes to ride it at the shopping mall
She's ridin' up and down a 10 ft. wall
I wish she'd come back and please be mine
She told me skateboardin' ain't no crime

She's a boppin' on her silly little rig
Twice as faster than a russian mig
She rides the pipe and she likes to get air
but I'm a tellin' her I just don't care
If she don't stop her silly little fling
I'm a gonna smash the God damn thing
