A MIGHTY WIND (West Allis Version)

As I skate on down the backstretch, of this rink I feel the pain
All the coaches, referees, volunteers in the A-Frame
They're all talkin' bout a feelin', about a force that's in the air
They're all talkin' 'bout that mighty wind that's blowin' hard out there.

Oh a mighty wind's a blowin', it's kicking up the sand
Blowin' in the face of midget girl to senior man
Yes a mighty wind's a blowin' from the car wash 'cross the street
It's slowin' every racer in this speed skating meet.

From Illinois-Wisconsin, to the Gohl Cup skate
The USISA classic, or racing the Great Lakes
There's lamp up in the last turn, it flickers as you race
So no one sees that mighty wind slowing down your pace

CHORUS

When they build a giant roof here, and walls to stop the storm
When Roscoe's speaking softly, when a wanker keeps his form
We'll still tell the wonderous story, of how we raced with grace
Against that very mighty wind blowing in our face

CHORUS
