Owanges, Mommy, Owanges
[Opening with the big fight voice]
ANNOUNCER:
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re live in the kitchen arena! The reigning Backyard Champion is on his feet… wait—OH NOOO! OUT OF NOWHERE—GRAVITY WITH THE SURPRISE TAKE-DOWN!”
Well I was struttin’ like Macho Man, feelin’ ten feet tall,
Crowd in my head screamin’ loud at it all,
When the floor came flyin’ up like a steel chair swing,
And I hit the mat hard — man, I didn’t feel a thing… at first.
Owanges, Mommy, owanges, I fell down again,
[ANNOUNCER: “And the ref didn’t even see the trip! Total blindside!”]
Didn’t even trip on nothin’, I just dove like my wrestling friends,
[ANNOUNCER: “Textbook belly flop! The crowd is on their feet!”]
Raise me up, wipe my tears, tell me I’m still strong,
Owanges, Mommy, owanges — it’s my fallin’ down song.
Wasn’t climbin’, wasn’t runnin’, just standin’ like a champ,
I felt like the Undertaker in a smoky entrance ramp,
But then the room spun ‘round like a body slam surprise,
Gravity came off the top rope and got me in the thighs!
Owanges, Mommy, owanges, I fell down again,
[ANNOUNCER: “Ohhh, and that’s gotta hurt, folks! He may need a medic — or at least a juice box!”]
Didn’t even trip on nothin’, I just dove like my wrestling friends,
[ANNOUNCER: “And listen to that imaginary crowd roar!”]
Raise me up, wipe my tears, tell me I’m still strong,
Owanges, Mommy, owanges — it’s my fallin’ down song.
One day I’ll have my championship belt,
[ANNOUNCER: “Solid gold with glitter stickers!”]
I’ll take down every couch cushion that I ever felt,
But for now I’m practicin’ my big moves on the floor,
[ANNOUNCER: “And Mommy comes in for the save!”]
Owanges, Mommy, owanges, I fell down again,
Didn’t even trip on nothin’, I just dove like my wrestling friends,
Raise me up, wipe my tears, tell me I’m still strong,
Owanges, Mommy, owanges — this is my fallin’ down song.
