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
