Lyrics to Fancy Dive

The fanciest dive that ever was dove

Was done by Melissa of Coconut Grove.

She bounced on the board and flew into the air

With a twist of her head and a twirl of her hair.

She did thirty-four jackknives, backflipped and spun,

Quadruple gainered, and reached for the sun,

And then somersaulted nine times and a quarter—

And looked down and saw that the pool had no water.
