 Those 3 Turns
 Those 3 Turns
 I am one who never learns.
 I cannot do those 3 turns.

 Can you do them on a line?
 Can you do them on a curve?
 Can you try without a whine?
 Can you summon up the nerve?

 I cannot do them on a line.
 I cannot do them on a curve.
 I cannot try without a whine.
 I cannot summon up the nerve.
 I am one who never learns.
 I cannot cannot do 3 turns!

 Can you do them to center?
 Can you do them in the field?
 Ride the edge on which you enter!
 Get that mental block to yield!
 I cannot do them to center.
 I cannot do them in the field.
 I have no edge on which to enter.
 My mind will never yield.
 I am one who never learns.
 I will not will not do 3 turns!

 Can you rotate with your shoulder?
 Can you check them with your hip?
 Don't cringe! Skate them bolder
 Or you're guaranteed to slip!

 I cannot rotate with my shoulder.
 I cannot check them with my hip.
 I will not skate them bolder.
 I'm afraid that I will slip.
 I am one who never learns.
 I dare not dare not even try 3 turns!

 Can you look where you are going
 Instead of where you've been?
 And please control your free leg.
 This is not a spin!

 I cannot look where I am going
 Instead of where I've been.
 I cannot control my free leg.
 It's a battle I can't win.
 I am one who never learns.
 I cannot cannot do 3 turns!

 Try to skate them with some power.
 Don't forget to bend your knees!
 I am charging by the hour.
 Just TRY one, pretty please?

 I cannot skate with power.
 I AM bending my knees!
 But if you won't look so dour
 I will try ONE to appease.

 I can learn! I can learn!
 Look, I can do a 3 turn!
 I can do them on a line!
 I can do them on a curve!
 I don't have to whine!
 I find I have the nerve!
 I can do them to center!
 I can do them in the field!
 I ride the edge on which I enter!
 My mind will finally yeild.
 I can rotate with my shoulder!
 I can check them with my hip!
 I can even skate them bolder
 Since I'm not afraid to slip!
 I now look where I am going,
 Instead of where I've been!
 And my free leg's where I want it;
 Extended or tucked in!

 Now, please stop all that racket.
 I cannot do a bracket!
