about

Trailer Park is Tonya's intro song, or "I want" song (if you really must). It's a rock tune with a half-time bridge and double time Broadway ending, sung by Stephanie Genito.

lyrics

I was a rocker, I grew up tough inside a trailer park
Without a father; no fancy stuff inside a trailer park
Nasty little rocker; jumping off trucks and bouncing off the walls
The girls would mock her; but I’d kick their butts
And grow to show them all what is up  

And it happened in a trailer park
I had to shine a little light in the dark
To play my one card right on the mark
Disembark out of this trailer park
 
In competition I’d jump twice as high and make the record books
Wasn’t their vision; a girl who can fly should have a classic look
Without permission I rose to the top in all of figure skatin’
All the derision couldn't stop me
And I busted through the trap they laid
 
But they labeled me as trailer trash
I guess I wasn’t the first role that they cast
And there is one girl I gotta get past
Gonna smash her and then
 
Finally, an opportunity
To bust out of a trailer park life
Out of the blue with nothing to lose
An unexpected spark to ignite
Sitting there up in their rarified air
They can’t deny the skill I command
Into their world goes a trailer trash girl
Tough luck, I’m gonna fuck up their plans
 
Get out of this trailer park
I had to shine a little light in the dark
And the freight train’s about to embark
Goin’ far beyond this goddam trailer park
No one’s gonna call me trailer trash
Although I love me a good mustache
And that one girl I gotta get past
Gonna smash her yeah!
