Bowin' Out
by Peg Lewis
With apologies to Mr. Joel, to the tune of "Anthony's Song", AKA "Movin' Out".
Sarah Hughes shows up at her ol' high school
Makin' up abscences plenty,
Coach Robin Wagner shared a note from the girl.
It said,
"Sorry, I haven't been training.
Playin' too hard can keep me
from landing jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jumps."
You oughta know by now.
Who needs a comp out in Nagano?
I've already got that sweet medal.
It seems such a waste of time
So what if we're earning spots?
I'm not showing up, no I'm bowing out.
'Lena and Anton are flying around
performing a show for the others.
Jamie and David host a shindig shown
on live night Tee-Vee
Loaded with tried and true talent.
They're all tradin' in their training for the fast
track-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack.
They oughta know by now.
And if they can't skate
At that silly Worlds
At least they can watch in on telly.
It seems such a waste of time.
So what if they're earning spots?
They're not showing up, no, they're bowing out.
You should never show when you have won, won, won, won, won, won, won, won!
You oughta know by now -
You can cheer Mister Yags 'cause he bucks the trend,
But if he don't win he'll be shredded.
It seems such a waste of time.
So what if they're earning spots?
It's only a Worlds, so they're bowing out.
