The velocity I'm gathering / Will knock you down / I'm a Superball

In 1965, Charles Eames said, “Among the great and elegant design exceptions is a toy produced this year that has swept the country. What is it? A small bouncing ball—the Super Ball.”

Superball by Aimee Mann
I'm a Superball
You can bounce me once and I'll ricochet
Around the room
I'm a Superball
If I pick up speed get out of my way
I'm a sonic boom
And I warn you now
The velocity I'm gathering
Will knock you down
Send the chairs and lamps all scattering
'Cause I'm a Superball
If you think there'll be no aftershocks
Well, I'm a Superball
Read the fine print on the back of the box
Stick to Slinkys, Hot Wheels, Alphabet blocks
And I warn you now
The velocity I'm gathering
Will knock you down
Send the chairs and lamps all scattering
It's got nothing to do with me
It's got nothing to do with me
It's got nothing to do with me
It's got nothing to do with me
It's got nothing to do with me
It's got nothing to do with me
It's got nothing...
