SK8BRD SONG

Sung by Lauren Laverne

I’m gonna buy a new skateboard,
It’s gonna be so good.
I’m gonna go down the car park,
And practice ‘til I’m good.

Then I’ll say to ya:
"I love skateboarding,
I love everything it’s so cool.
I like it when the girls beat the lads and make them look crap.

I came home from the city,
'Dodge' was assembling my board on the settee.
I gave him thanks.
And he took this stance.
He turned to me and said:
"I love skateboarding,
I love everything it's so cool.
So don't bother to thank me,
'Cos I'm happy to do it for free."

I went down the carpark,
Just as a large crowd was passing,
I tried a new move but I feel on me arse,
It hurt and was embarassing

I turned to the sky and shouted,
"I hate skateboarding!
I hate everything it's so shit!
And you know I've just wasted,
Ninety-five fucking quid."

I was on my way home,
When I met my gang of black widows.
There were all seven,
I told them my story and they laughed and said:
"We've had a buzz but still...

We love skateboarding,
We love everything it's so cool.
So get back on and we'll promise,
In a week or two, you'll rule."

I got back on and they were right,
Now I can 'Olly' and I'm not so shite.
I like it when I do a new move,
And impress all around us.
And I want to say to ya:

"I love skateboarding,
I love everything and so should you.
You've got to try it,
It's just...so cool."
