Lyrics

Tell me how does your sister roller-skate
It’s a cruel trick teenage boys play on the weak
When you ask the answer is
“She’s got no legs”
Then they kick your ass
So let me tell you how my real sister roller-skates
She was born in a thunderstorm on my grandma’s couch in rural Arkansas
She almost died before the doctor arrived it was a painful difficult birth
She walked with braces and sometimes crutches for the first part of her life`
So let me tell you how my sister roller skate
Tell me how does your sister roller-skate
My sister roller-skates just fine, she’s got a job a family and she drives
She won an employment discrimination lawsuit she wrote a book about her life
Tell me how does your sister roller-skate
It was a less enlightened time and she was harassed all the time
They called her retard and spastic right to her face and they generally cruel and unkind
Me and my sisters we tried to defend her but nothing really seemed to change
Until our neighbor Victor broke somebodies’ nose
Tell me how does your sister roller skate
It’s a cruel trick teenage boys play on the weak
But my sister roller skates just fine
And you can’t let the pricks ruin your life
Tell me you how does your sister roller-skate
