The Rockin' Roller Skating Rink: The Story of Girls and Boys Holding Hands

Rockin’ round the roller-skating rink!

Spinning in circles is harder than you think.

Girls and boys meet for the first time. 

The rink walls are a height to climb. 

The wheels on the skates roll so fast. 

Pull the laces tight so they will last.

Keep your balance; don’t fall down.

Hold my hand and turn around. 

Skate with me on the rink all day. 

It’s more fun than flat-feet-play. 

Once you go forward, you can skate back. 

Just like dancing to a music soundtrack.

The disco ball and flashing lights 

Are spectacular roller-skating sights.

We can roll and sing up to middle C.

Come party on the rink with me!
