Roller girl, she rocks my world
As round the rink she floats and twirls
Her hair is flying (beneath her helmet)
To watch her skate is time well-spent
Entranced by all her five-star moves
I love the way she darts and grooves
Commanding the surface on only small wheels
She’s clearly enjoying how freeing it feels
I wish I could join her, hold tight to her waist
I’d savour those vibes, or just a small taste
The strobe lights are flashing the disco tunes play
Right here by her side is where I’m gonna stay
She’s magic while rolling, enchantress on skates
I’m reliving childhood and that makes it great
It’s love beads, bell-bottoms and jackets with fringe
Bringing back memories with a kodachrome tinge
No matter the era, if there’s wheels on her feet
Each stroke is a dance, as she strides to the beat
It’s truly post-modern, it is movement as art
And my Roller Girl’s wheelin’ it straight to my heart
