about

It's a (secular?) gospel song about playground equipment. It kind of seems like their might be a deeper, metaphorical message to this song, or it could just be an accurate description of what happens. I can't remember when or why I started writing it but I may have been listening to Lead Belly by the sound of things.

lyrics

If You Want to Use the Slide

Well you've got to climb up
(Yes you've got to climb up)
And you've got to climb higher
(You've got to climb higher)
You've got to climb all the way to the top
If you want to use the slide
(If you want to use the slide)

You've got to take the first step
(You've got to take the first step)
And you've got to take the next step
(the very next step)
You've got to take each and every step
If you want to use the slide
(If you want to use the slide)

Slide, oh slide,
Slide on down the slide
It might be straight or it might be twisty
But it's always smooth and it's always slippery
So slide on down the slide
