The slide is high so I’m holding on
I’m thinkin’ this just isn’t fun
I’m not the kind of kid who is a playground brat
Oh no

It’s not the swings or monkey bars that hurt me bad
No it’s the way I zoom down to my doom below
I’m not the kind of kid who wants to make a splat
Oh no

The slide is high so I’m holding on
I wanna make it to the ground
Safe and sound

I want to fly off like Peter Pan
‘Cause this metal slide gives me leg burns

I’m not the kind of kid who thinks that he’s all that
Oh no

The slide is high so I’m holding on
All of the kids are making fun
Feeling dumb, wanna run

I start repeating “I think I can”
Gotta slide on down ‘cause it’s my turn

I’m not the kind of kid who lands just like a cat
Oh no

The slide is high but I’m heading down
I’m speeding up – oh, hey, it’s done
What a blast, sliding fast

The slide is high – and very long
I never want it to be done

The slide is high – I don’t hold on
I’m sliding free, I’m shouting “whee!”, I’m having fun
