Ah itsumo to kawara nai yokei na fuan ha tsukue no oku ni kakushi te oko u
Mado no soto mitsume te omoi fukeru 『koko kara nukede sou!!』

Uh!ore sama wa Real na SK8ER!! Studs to Vans de Hard Core na Flavor!!
Dare mo ore ni wa kate yashi ne~ na! Step Up×2!!
Kakatte ki na hoeru SK8ERS!!
Asawaka na nori ja tobe nai taka sa o baka na nakama to tobikoe tekita nosa!
Mazuha tsuyoku fumikon de Kick It!! 3 2 1 Go!!

Kono mama zutto kaze ni notte doko e ikeru kana ?
Hare ta sora ni tsukisasaru boku no omoi
Kodomo no koro egai teta yume wa too sugiru kedo
Akirame nai de negai o nigirishime te!!

Kodomo no koro egai teta yume wa too sugiru kedo
Akirame nai de negai o nigirishime te!!
