Flexible Flyer Lyrics

Brian Dewan Flexible Flyer

Nothing in this world compares to the feel
Of varnished wood and springy steel
Goodness gracious, I've such a desire
To coast downhill on my Flexible Flyer

The air is crisp and the snow is dry
Past snow-covered trees and fences I'll fly
I'm getting momentum and picking up speed
A Flexible Flyer's a flyer indeed

Grease those rails with a block of wax
Leave a pair of trails like railroad tracks
My runners are sharp, so listen to me
Stay out of my path, or I'll cut you in three

Pile those kids into that old sleigh
Push 'em down the hill and send them on their way
Sledding downhill on a rocking horse
Rocking chairs slalom down an obstacle course

Lampposts will be lighting soon
Nighttime falls in the afternoon
Happy and weary, time to retire
And trudge home dragging my Flexible Flyer
