| Step on a crack and break your mother’s back Break your mother’s back, your mother’s back As a girl I skated the sidewalk The street that I lived on The neighbors had green green grass I jumped the cracks to save my mom I didn’t live in my neighbor’s house But the one with the crabgrass lawn I would be the hero of our home The street that I lived on There were days her pain was on fire I had to leave her alone Even fire teaches life is for learning Ours was a learning home |
Step on a crack and break your mother’s back
Break your mother’s back, your mother’s back
I’m jumping, I’m magic
I’m hoping I’m skating
I’m knowing I’m learning
Hoping Skating
Step over cracks and save your mother’s back
Save your mother’s back, your mother’s back
