Loudon Wainwright III - Tonya's Twirls lyrics
You knew she was in trouble When you saw her bodyguard When you saw those two together You knew it wasn't hard To see that she was different not just one of the girls With their gliding and their sliding And their pirouettes and twirls Then it turned out that she smoked and drank & posed practically nude & she didn't smile all of the time She got angry & was crude No she wasn't goody two-skates lLike all the other girls With their grinning andd their spinning And their winning little twirls And her childhood was unhappy, her mom was really weird Her husband liked to hit her but it was poverty she feared She grew up in a trailer park not like most other girls With their gliding & their sliding & their whirling little twirls Yes they all look like princesses like Barbies to the core But she was your parents' worst nightmare The slut who moved next door From the wrong side of the tracks She liked the boys more than the girls With their gliding & their sliding & their girlish dainty twirls And it seemed like she was lying About what she didn't know & then she started crying in the media side show In practice she kept falling down more than the other girls With their gliding & their sliding & their picture perfect twirls And they almost towed her truck away The whole thing was a drag Forget about Campbell's soup and Reebok Wheaties or the flag Ah, there'll be books she'll make some money That's what they're after all these girls With their selling kiss & telling & their twisted little twirls So play the national anthem stand up proud & tall Oh we hope that ours don't stumble & that theirs slip & fall Remember Olga Korbut what happens to these girls With their triple flips & axels & somersaults & twirls Ice used to be a nice thing when you laced up figure skates Now it's a thing to win a medal on for the United States But once there were no lutzes axels pirouettes or twirls Just giddy slipping sliding laughing happy little girls |
