lyrics

Chica Go Lightning wants to terrorize
She is so frightening with her Bowie eyes
She paints a lightning bolt
On the right side of her face
Chica Go Lightning

And in the summer, she’s under attack
The lead jammer of the Angel pack
She is red sixteen
On the Culver City track
Chica Go Lightning

Angel City Derby Girls are the queens in my hometown
The fresh meat and blockers try their best just to get around
But Rachel Rotten (and) Octane Jane really hold em down

Chica Go Lightning scores another win
Hollywood Scarlets are the champions
Then they watch the 90’s bands
And drink Joxer Daily gin
Chica Go Lightning

Angel City Derby Girls are the queens in my hometown
The fresh meat and blockers try their best just to get around
But Tyra Shanks and Duchess Van Damn hold em down

Crashes on the couch
Alarm is way too loud
Scrambles for her keys
Ties the apron strings and puts her name tag on

Chica Go Lightning calls off the jam
And knocks the Pivot with a C-block slam
And now she’s serving time
In the penalty box - yeah
Chica Go Lightning

Angel City Derby Girls are the queens in my hometown
The fresh meat and blockers try their best just to get around
But Micki-Speedia and B-train really hold em down
