Ping Pong Blues

[Verse]
If Utku could’ve smashed it right
The ball would've soared into the night
But it clipped the net
It dropped
It stopped
And all his table tennis dreams got mopped

He said
"If I practice
I’ll be a king"
But right now
He's just chasing the swing
If he’d aimed left
If he’d leaned right
Maybe he'd have won that fight

[Prechorus]
But if’s just if
Ain't got no spine
A wishbone bends
It ain't a spine

[Chorus]
Utku lost the game
Man
That’s the cost
Ping pong dreams
Now they’re all exhaust
Bounce
Bounce
Bounce
The ball don’t lie
Utku’s loss
And we all know why

[Verse 2]
The paddle slipped
His grip was weak
Sweat on his brow
He dared not speak
Aviation student but couldn’t take flight
The ping pong table? His kryptonite

We all laughed
We all cheered
Utku’s face turned red
He disappeared
"If I’d trained more
I’d be the champ"
But now his spirit's just a dim street lamp
