Hey, guitar player

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic

Let me work my magic

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic

If you only knew how to laugh and dance

Whether you're a pancakes or waffles man

We still got a whole lot left to learn

If you only knew (if you only knew)

We’ll do something new

Start a snowball fight in June

If you only knew (if you only knew)

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic

Let me work my magic

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic

If you only knew how the game has changed

You'd think it's kinda nice even when it rains

But take any advice with a grain of salt

If you only knew (if you only knew)

We’ll do something new

Start a snowball fight in June

If you only knew (if you only knew)

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic

Let me work my magic

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic

(Let me, let me, let me, let me)

Hey, guitar player, um

New York's number one cut creator

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Hey, speed skater

Tha tha tha tha

Check it right

Let's put an ad in the papers, uh

Backflip

You know what to do

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Backflip

You know what to do

Ooh, let your freak flag fly

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic

Let me work my magic

Watch me backflip

Watch me backflip

Let me work my magic
