Alfred wrote the main of this lyric for his niece Summer on her birthday. That year she was crazy about Trampolines. I had to get a part in the song about twirling a baton because I loved my twirling classes when I was a kid.

lyrics

Trampoline Girl

There’s a girl who wants to know
just how high a girl can go –
saw the moon
and thought she would fly there.
Prettiest thing I’ve ever seen,
springs just like a trampoline.
Baby can you jump any higher.

But every time I look at you
then my heart starts leaping too.
Haven’t you heard ‘bout the
Trampoline Girl?
Trampoline Girl.
Trampoline Girl.

There’s a girl who broke my heart –
put the horse before the cart.
And Here we are another year older.
Still I won’t abandon hope
even if the axle broke cause
she turns cartwheels over and over.

And even if I’ve fallen flat,
you can bring me bouncing back.
You tumble and twirl,
Trampoline Girl.

Saw her twirling her baton
then I knew my heart was gone.
She’s helium rising inside me.
So, I leapt up to join her there –
twisting, shouting through the air.
Trampoline girl jumping beside me.

Every year I won’t forget
you put the spring back in my step.
You rock my world,
Trampoline Girl.

Jeni Hankins London, UK

Jeni Hankins grew up in the coalfields of Appalachian in Southwest Virginia among a family of miners, moonshiners, and journalists. Her writing pulls the grit, gumption, and keen sense of observation out of that heritage like drawing water from her grandmother’s well.

In every song, Jeni’s “true sense of place shines through – old as the hills, but brand new at the same time.”
