Kimberly Akimbo the Musical - Skater Planet Lyrics

Music by Jeanine Tesori and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire.

SETH: (spoken)
Attention Skaters,
please clear the rink while the ice is resurfaced
Thank you for your patience

ENSEMBLE:
It's Saturday night at Skater Planet
The Zamboni's on the ice
So we hang around here waiting
All the action's at the mall
But we'd rather be here skating

SETH:
The action's at the mall

ENSEMBLE:
But we'd rather be here skating
Ah-ah
In New Jersey
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh

It's Saturday night in Bergan Country
There are parties everywhere
But we never get invited

And I'm with the one I love

I'm with the one I love

I'm with the one I love

I'm with the one I love

ENSEMBLE
But my love goes unrequited
I'm with the one I love
But my love goes unrequited
Ahh ahh ahh
Nothing's right
Nothing is what it should be

SETH:
Shoes are stinky
Pay's not great
Skating's free but
I can't skate
Cause my ankles tend to roll
In New Jersey

ENSEMBLE:
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh

KIM:
It's Saturday night in Butt crack township
On a road without a sign
In a town where there's not much in
Forty minutes east of hope
Forty miles from mituchin

ENSEMBLE:
I'm with the one I love

KIM:
It's Saturday night and I'm the new girl
So I get to start from scratch
Next to (?) this is dreamy
Sure tonight I'm getting looks
But tomorrow they might see me

ENSEMBLE:
I'm always getting looks

ALL:
They never really see me

In New Jersey

In New Jersey

In New Jersey

ENSEMBLE:
Nothing's right
Nothing is what it should be

I'm too awkward

I'm too bright

I'm too anxious

I'm too polite

ENSEMBLE:
We're too chipper, we're too loud
We don't blend into a crowd
We're too weird in every way

SETH:
I think Springsteen's just okay

ENSEMBLE:
Which is not a thing to think in New Jersey
At least we have the rink in New Jersey
Ah-ah
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh
Uh-oh
