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!
