Lyrics

It was Halloween a year ago
Angela said she would go
Dressed up as an Olympic running superstar.
So she got herself some running shoes
Some cool blue shorts and a t-shirt, too.
But her friends stood laughing
Saying, "Who do you think you are?"

And though the laughing simply was not right,
She made a vow that very night
That she would exercise and change her ways.
So she opened up a magazine
And soon the candy from that Halloween
Was in the garbage
And she was jogging every day---

Run like Jackie Joyner---
Run like lightning chasing the wind---
Run like Jackie Joyner---
Faster everyday with Olympic discipline.

A year's gone by and soon it'll be
The "Scarecrow Run" on Halloween.
And Angela's been working for this very day.
A year of sweat and eating right,
Her confidence has taken flight
And her friends are staring
Saying, "Angie you look great"

Run like Jackie Joyner---
Run like lightning chasing the wind---
Run like Jackie Joyner---
Faster everyday with Olympic discipline.

At the finish line was a news crew team
Getting photos for their magazine
And a young girl shyly watching Angela.
Angie thought, "That's me one year ago"
And the girl said, "Angie, let me know
The secret to success."
And here's what Angie said,

Run like Jackie Joyner---
Run like lightning chasing the wind---
Run like Jackie Joyner---
Faster everyday with Olympic discipline.

On Halloween in one year's time
A young girl plans to stand in line
With running shoes and cool shorts of her very own---
She'll run with Angie every afternoon
Have a poster of Jackie hanging in her room
And a little sign that says,
"If you want to be the very best..."

Run like Jackie Joyner---
Run like lightning chasing the wind---
Run like Jackie Joyner---
Faster everyday with Olympic discipline.
