Tonya's Twirls
Lyricist:Loudon Iii Wainwright
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 and posed practically nude And she didn't smile all of the time, she got angry and was crude No, she wasn't goody-two-skates like all the other girls With their grinning and their spinning and their winning little twirls
And her childhood was unhappy and her mom was really weird Her husband liked to hit her but it was poverty she feared 'Cause she grew up in the trailer parks not like most other girls With their gliding and their sliding and their whirling little twirls, yeah
Yes, they all look like princesses, little Barbies to the core But she was your parents' worst nightmare, the slut who moved next door From the wrong side of the track, she liked the boys more than the girls With their gliding and their sliding and their girlish dainty twirls
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And it seemed like she was lying about what she didn't know And then she started crying in the media sideshow And in practice she kept falling down more than the other girls With their gliding and their sliding and their picture perfect twirls
And they almost towed her truck way, uh, the whole thing was a drag Forget about Campbell Soup and Reebok, Weedy's or the flag Huh, there'll be books, she'll make some money That's what they're after all these girls With their selling, kiss and telling and their twisted little twirls
So play the national anthem, stand up proud and tall Ooh, we hope that ours don't stumble and that theirs slip and fall Remember Olga Korbut, what happens to these girls? With their triple-flips and axels and their somersaults and 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
