The Flip Side
ROCKY:
Gimme ten minutes!
WATCHMAN:
Ten minutes for ten dollars!
ROCKY:
Yeah, okay! Yo, I'll take these blades!
And yo! How 'bout also some ice skatin' music?!
WATCHMAN:
Right! You got ten minutes!
ROCKY:
You wanna skate
I'm gonna watch you
If you start to fall
You know I got you
You do the spins
I'll do the walking
And if you get shy
I don't mind talking
Maybe it's early to call this a date
Then again, maybe it's never too late
'cause I look at you and see
The flip side of me
WATCHMAN:
Eight and a half minutes!
ROCKY:
You got the brains
ADRIAN:
Guess so
ROCKY:
I got the body
ADRIAN:
I know
ROCKY:
Add one and one
That ain't too shoddy
Oh! I'm bad at jokes
ADRIAN:
Yes
ROCKY:
Hope you don't mind it
'cause making you smile is what's behind it
Me with the body
And you with the brains
Put 'em together
It sort of explains
Why I look at you and see
The flip side of me
WATCHMAN:
You got seven minutes!
ROCKY:
Yo, he keeps good time
Guess that's why they call him a watchman
Boom!
Skating along like we ain't got a care
Hope that you like it a bit
Your little hand in my mitt
Funny how people can fit
WATCHMAN:
You got four minutes!
ROCKY:
Yo! What happened to six and five?!
WATCHMAN:
You used 'em up askin' me what happened to 'em!
ROCKY:
Da da da da da da da
Life's gliding past
ADRIAN:
Life's gliding past
ROCKY:
Sort of like skating
Some start off fast
ADRIAN:
Some stand there waiting
ROCKY:
One person slips
Woah!
ADRIAN:
One holds 'em tighter
A girl who can't skate
ROCKY:
A third-rate fighter
What we get given
Is God's game of Craps
But life is worth living
With someone to fill in the gaps
And I think you just might be
WATCHMAN:
Three!
ROCKY:
I think you just might be
WATCHMAN:
Two!
ROCKY & ADRIAN:
I think you just might be
The flip side of me
WATCHMAN:
One!
