Ode to the Dying

 

Go Canada Go!
Go Canada Go!

Don’t you go dying in the WinterWe have commitments you seeMy child is winning Gold Medals...And just can’t do it without me…No hockey brawls for us…Figure skating full-time.

 

 

Water wings baby.
Water wings baby.

Now don’t you go dying in the Spring time…. That’s when the glamour shows hit the iceI expect my kid to be the show stopper…To miss it would not be right….No swimming team for us….Figure skating full-time.

 

 

Okay, Blue Jays...Let's Play Ball!
Okay, Blue Jays…Let’s Play Ball!

And you can’t be dying in the summer We’d be frantic fitting you inSummer skating pays the coach wages….We’ll be there, it’s a sure thing…No baseball bats for us…Figure skating full-time.

 

 

Perfect...if your eyes were open...
Perfect…if your eyes were open…

We can’t have you dying in the autumnThe judges are depending on you...We pay them even if we skip it…So what do you think we should do??? No tossing around footballs...Figure skating full-time.

 

 

The Fonz comb!
The Fonz pose!

So don’t go dying on us anytime…We’ve got a busy schedule to keep…In an arena, freezing our unmentionables….With time off if the Coach says we can sleep...No family life for us…Figure skating full-time.
