1:26:01
"We wore the toys!
1:26:02
"Each day my mother would wake up
and open 1 1 Twister games, Eddie.
1:26:06
"She would roll the Twister mats
on the floor.
1:26:08
"Me and my 1 1 brothers and sisters
1:26:10
"would wrap the Twister mats
around our body like a suit.
1:26:12
"Then we get a Hot Wheels racetrack
and put that around our waist as a belt.
1:26:15
"And if there was no Hot Wheels,
we used Johnny Lightning.
1:26:17
"And if there was no Johnny Lightning,
we ripped up a Hula Hoop
1:26:20
"and put that around our waist.
But we went to school, goddamn it.
1:26:22
"Other children would make fun of us
because we got on Twister suits.
1:26:24
"And it's no fun to get your ass
kicked in a Twister mat.
1:26:27
"Right foot, blue. Left hand, red, Eddie.
lt was a goddamn game to these kids.
1:26:30
"I'm standing on the corner,
1:26:32
"a motherfucker is spinning the
spinner and kicking my ass, Eddie.
1:26:35
"Then I gotta go to school and watch
the other children eat real food.
1:26:38
"I gotta watch them eat peanut butter
and jelly, bologna and Swiss,
1:26:41
"ham and cheese. I got a goddamn
Silly Putty sandwich.
1:26:45
"Then, for dessert, they're gonna
pull out a Hostess cupcake
1:26:48
"and I gotta eat a goddamn Slinky?
1:26:50
"A Slinky spring?! And, Eddie,
I ate so many Slinkys,
1:26:53
"every time I hear the motherfucking
Slinky song,
1:26:56
"it make me sick to my stomach.
1:26:57
"They walk downstairs
Alone and in pairs
1:26:59
"And make a clinkety sound
1:27:01
"A thing, a thing, a marvelous thing
Everyone knows it's Slinky
1:27:05
"A Slinky, a Slinky
A wonderful, wonderful toy
1:27:08
"A Slinky, a Slinky
They're fun for a girl and a boy"
1:27:11
Bye-bye, I gotta go.
Thank you.
