Bad, bad Jake Brown

Go ahead and copyright this song, I don't have time......
Well the south side of Los Angeles is the baddest part of town, and if you go down to Staples Center you better just beware of a man named Jake Brown. Now Jake got in trouble, you see he stands about 5 feet 4, he nailed the first-ever 720 on a mega ramp, then decided to go for more.
Now Jake is a gambler, and likes to wear his baggy clothes. And he likes to get the highest air, but this time he should have bailed. His got squirrely heading up the quarterpipe, so he tried to get under control. He flailed his limbs as he soared in the air, then looked to see what was below.
And its bad, bad Jake Brown, the baddest skater in the whole [darn] town, badder than an old Bob Burnquist, but nicer than Bucky Lasek.
He wears pads all over his body and a helmet on his head, but when you fall from 45 feet, you usually end up dead. But Jake knows how to fall, he's been doing it since he first began to walk, so he picked out a spot and you better just beward, he didn't end up outlined with chalk.
And its bad, bad Jake Brown, the baddest skater in the whole [darn] town, badder than an old Bob Burnquist, but nicer than Danny Way

The crowd went silent, as Jake slammed into the floor. He looked like a rag doll, and the squeemish headed for the door. Then he did something remarkable, he rolled over and stood up. The crowd slowly started to applaud, the began to erupt.   
And its bad, bad Jake Brown, the baddest skater in the whole [darn] town, badder than an old Bob Burnquist, but nicer than Danny Way.
