Gale Walk (Intro) (Upbeat, jangly guitar riff, reminiscent of a windy day) (Verse 1) The sun was bright, a perfect Tuesday scene Pleated plaid skirt, the standard uniform machine Got a simple errand, just a kilometer down the street A little autumn breeze felt gentle and sweet But I made one mistake, a secret I had hid Beneath the woolen blend, I did what Mama forbid I wore my silk beige panties, a silly, shy delight With little smiling pandas, black and white (Pre-Chorus) Then the trees started sighin' And the flag started flyin' A gust took the hem, gave a mischievous tug My heart gave a thud, my hands started to hug My skirt to my knees, a desperate, pleading clutch But the wind just laughed and loved it all too much (Chorus) Oh, it's a gale walk, a humiliating dance This relentless wind won't give me a chance! My school skirt's a kite, in a furious flight Revealing my pandas to the broad daylight No matter how I press, how I beg, or how I plead The gale force wind is a villain I can't beat! (Verse 2) One mighty blast, a whirlwind from the south My pleats went parachuting, flying from my mouth A gasp, a futile grab at empty, rushing air My secret panda party on a frantic, hot despair It snagged on a fence post, waving like a flag of shame I had to tiptoe, stretch, and whisper its name Pulled it down blushing, mortified and meek A window washer grinning from his peak (Pre-Chorus) The next block was a battle, a war I couldn't win Holding textbooks down, letting the panic set in Every car that passed felt like a judging eye Under this endless, unforgiving sky (Chorus) Oh, it's a gale walk, a humiliating dance This relentless wind won't give me a chance! My school skirt's a kite, in a furious flight Revealing my pandas to the broad daylight No matter how I press, how I beg, or how I plead The gale force wind is a villain I can't beat! (Bridge) - (The Realization - Part 2) Stumbled through the doorway, task complete and done Thought the worst was over, thought I'd finally won But then I looked outside, the trees still bending low My heart just sank right down to my panda-covered toes That one kilometer back, the same embarrassing track The same gusty villain waiting to attack Deep breath, squared my shoulders, stepped out to face the fray Gale Walk: The Sequel, coming out today (Verse 3) (Sound of wind quiets, music softens to just a clean guitar melody) Finally slammed my front door, leaning there a mess Silk and beige and pandas, a picture of distress Note to self for winter: Wear the thickest tights And never, ever trust a day that feels so bright... (Laughing) ...or smiling pandas. (Pre-Chorus) The next block was a battle, a war I couldn't win Holding textbooks down, letting the panic set in Every car that passed felt like a judging eye Under this endless, unforgiving sky (Chorus) Oh, it's a gale walk, a humiliating dance This relentless wind won't give me a chance! My school skirt's a kite, in a furious flight Revealing my pandas to the broad daylight No matter how I press, how I beg, or how I plead The gale force wind is a villain I can't beat! Yeah, it's a gale walk, the humiliating sequel! Is this cruel repetition ever gonna be equal? My school skirt's a kite, in a furious flight Revealing my pandas for a second, awful night No matter how I press, how I beg, or how I plead The gale force wind is a villain I can't beat!
