Left hand green.
Right foot red, in between.
Stretch across the board,
Reach,
Reach!
Made it,
Now just stay,
Don't fall, don't sway,
Don't let them win the game.

Left foot blue.
Right hand yellow, too.
Breathe deep,
Keep still.
Starting to sweat,
Dripping down onto the board.
Drip, drip, drip,
Don't dare slip!

Left hand red.
Oh! Left hand blue instead.
So close to your neighbor,
Too close.
Legs crossed,
Hips touching.
Hand over hand.
Hearing their breaths,
In out, in out.
Contact leads to nerves.
Starting to shake.
But don't give up,
Stay till the end.
Don't lose,
Win.
