Ballad

Going up the ski lift,
Chilling with my dad,
Mum and Ruby are up ahead,
While someone just stacked it bad.
Racing down the mountains,
Zooming down the slopes,
Fighting for the great reward,
Zooming down the slopes.
We are clipping in our snowboards.
When Ruby challenges me,
'Race you to the bottom,
And let’s see who the winner will be.'
Racing down the mountains,
Zooming down the slopes,
Fighting for the great reward,
Zooming down the slopes.
Down the mountain I go,
When Ruby goes for a jump.
She flies right over my head,
But she lands on her rump.
Racing down the mountains,
Zooming down the slopes,
Fighting for the great reward,
Zooming down the slopes.
I finally reach the bottom,
While Ruby comes back late,
As I wait I hold the precious prize,
The delicious hot chocolate.
