wink and skate


"wink and skate" by kevin mcentire and dade merchant
"i got a idea" i say with a wink
magically turn the mall into a ice skating rink

glide and shop
buy a shirt do a trick
people in the gap impressed by a flip

skate into the elevator to go upstairs
"no need to worry there is ice up there"
and the elevator has a ice floor too
do a quick trick while the floor moves you
look over there its "some kids from school"
impress them with the best move you can do
like turn a cartwheel into a knee slide
jump up splits, get a row of high-fives

look for bargains while you spin like a top
if the price is tight slow down and stop
if the color is right take it to the cashier
change to your new look hear the crowd cheer

"hay kevin my ice skates arent that nice
might get new ones for expensive price"
"dont do that!" i wink and say
new skates appear the best ones ever made

"hey the mall security is givin out hats"
help you out with your income tax
"can you help me find my car i got lost"
"no problem sir, ill do it at no cost"

"that was fun" i say with a wink and a sigh
the ice melts down and evaporates to the sky
