Story behind the song
This one was written as part of a contest, it had to be about sports, so I picked my personal favorite sport--Bowling. Bowling is more of a passion than anything else. I don't think I ever intended to write a parody about bowling, but I think it turned out quite fun.
Lyrics
I strapped clown shoes on as they started to stare
Sweat had dripped off my face, had drank way too much beer
An arrow's in my mind, and the board is really clear
I'll Roll it, Just Roll It
I did approach, released the ball from my hand
I gave it all I could hit the gutter again
The pins they all stood up, my team-mates had laughed again
I dropped it, yet I'll try it again
Just Bowl It (Bowl It)
Roll It (Roll It)
The ball just weighs too much, hold it
Other team's bowling nothing but strikes
It doesn't matter if they bowl it right
Just chuck it (Chuck It)
Just loft it (loft it)
Control it (troll it)
I missed it (missed it-ooh)
My average dropping, my team's losing again
Hit it down the center, oh Split it's 7-10
I tried to pick it up, the fowl light is blinking red
I crossed it, just crossed it
I have to show them my head isn't all air
Man left another 5, can't strike and rarely spare
They'll strike it, then they'll pick it
the handicap isn't fair
But roll it, OOPS wrong lane it's my bad
Just Bowl It (Bowl It)
Roll It (Roll It)
Gotta hit it now can't leave it
Really not lucky, can't hit it right
It never matters can't bowl for my life
Just toss it (toss it), Chuck it (chuck it)
Think a Man is in the closet
Showing off straight ball, a curve from the right
It doesn't matter who loses tonight
Just Bowl It Bowl It Bowl It
Throw It (Throw It)
Roll It (Roll It)
No one wants to really blow it
Showin' my anger, fumin' all night
Ball flirts with gutters
to left and the right
I Bowled it (bowled it)
Lost it (Lost it)
Another week to feel I tossed it
Brother just beat me
He's 'bout half my size
Really don't matter
That I'm 25
I Bowled it (bowled it)
Rolled it (rolled it)
Darn this time I can't control it
Went to the 10 pin, hit it just right
Left all 9 others, can't play the sport right
Gosh darnit (darnit)
Split it (split it)
Tired of feeling so embarrassed
Always tomorrow
I'll quit this tonight
Blame it on oil
I threw it just right
