Solve My Case

I once met a girl at the base of a mountain,
Out in a state park, in the morning about 10.
We started chatting; her name was Ayisha,
She told me that she was even faster than a cheetah.
I said, "That would be outstanding and excellent,
But there's no way." She said, "You want to make a bet?
I bet you 20 bucks that if I sprinted,
I could be at the top of the mountain in less than a minute."
I figured it was a couple of miles in all,
That's a considerable distance, rather large.
She could never do it in a minute, and I knew it.
I said, "I'll take your bet; I know you're going to lose it."
Ayisha gave me binoculars and a stopwatch,
She said, "Start the watch, and watch for me at the top."
And then she jogged off, not even that fast,
And disappeared among the trees along the path.

You know she's so quick, yeah she's so quick,
Either that, or I just got tricked.
You know she's so quick, yeah she's so quick,
Either that, or I just got tricked!

So, fifty seconds later, I used the binoculars
To see to the top of the mountain, "Oh, what!"
I couldn't believe what I was seeing,
I was so shocked; I almost stopped breathing!
'Cause at the top with a full 10 seconds to spare
Was Ayisha smiling with her hands in the air!
Then she came back down, hardly out of breath,
I gave her 20 bucks; I had lost the bet.
But I was concerned, worried, about this girl,
Was she some kind of alien from another world?
It wasn't losing the money that made me frown,
It was this girl tricking me, and I didn't know how.
I thought about requesting and asking for help,
But I was pretty smart; I could solve the case myself.
I thought about the whole thing, beginning to end,
And tried to keep my mind flexible, able to bend.
I mean able to change, it's true this was strange,
But "Strange" is my middle name.
I had to focus my mind on this one thing and concentrate,
She couldn't have been running.
Because I studied a map; if it was accurate and exact,
Ayisha had run five miles on the path.
Then I calculated; I did the math,
She ran 300 miles an hour—that's crazy fast!

You know she's so quick, yeah she's so quick,
Either that, or I just got tricked.
You know she's so quick, yeah she's so quick,
Either that, or I just got tricked!

I thought back about all the facts,
But I couldn't figure out how she had run that fast.
Then I saw a bluebird, which was kind of awesome,
'Cause I don't see them frequently or very often.
And then I walked back down the mountain,
Sad that I couldn't figure it out when
I saw the bluebird again, or maybe it was another,
They looked the same, but it could have been his brother.
And then I had it! I mean I knew exactly!
I had figured it out, concluded what happened.
One person could never be that fast,
One person could never be that fast.
I found out where Ayisha lived and drove over,
Smiling to myself, I was happier than Grover.
I knocked, said, "May I come in?"
The door opened; it was Ayisha and her identical twin…

You know she's so quick, yeah she's so quick,
Either that, or I just got tricked.
You know she's so quick, yeah she's so quick,
Either that, or I just got tricked!
