lyrics

Look at this scene
The tilt a whirl it towers over me
And as I watch this crazy spinning machine
I’m turning green
Not today
And I can see
Why all these kids in line are older than me
And everytime I hear the riders scream
They’re screaming at me
There is no way

But the line is getting shorter
And my feet are stuck in mortar
Going down down down down down down
I’m getting even sadder as
They climb up the ladder
I’ll stick a round round round round round round (x3)

CHORUS: Well first we sit and then we spin

That was insane
The tilt a whirl it spun me to my frame
I told the voices that are in my brain
It wasn’t lame and I’m okay
I’m feeling fine
So I decide to run back into the line
And this time I see a boy who’s nine
Looking at the incline who says “no way”

So I grab him by the shoulder
And suggest that he be bolder
Don’t frown frown frown frown frown frown
And maybe to appease me
Or because he just believes me
He turn it upside down down down down

CHORUS

Ladies and Gentelmen, stand on up and sit right down: It's time for the ride of your life!!! Tilt-a-Whirl Sit Annnnd Spin!
