The Bicycle Songtext

von Calypso Rose

I ask Mister Russel for a ride on his bicycle
I was late for work, listen to this joke:
He say: "Rosy darling, tell me how far you goin'?"
I say "Me are goin' far"
He tell me to sit down on the crossbar. He shout out:

Jump on, Rosy, jump on!
I jump on the bicycle and are gone
But before he pedal I have to jump off,
Because his tire run soft
Ohhh lord…

Well, he look at me cross
I studying what to tell it was
This man was so kind to give me a job just to reach on time
But unfortunately his tire was too soft for me
He pump it up and all the air [?] his tire would not let back air again. He shout out:

As a young woman
I try to give him my opinion
I say how I feel
You should check out the whole front wheel
Give it a good checkin'
Check the spokes and also the air, and give it
A good overhaul
And take some oil and please don't spoil.
He shout out:

He took his bike to the repair shop
To give it a good checkup
Well, that was the case arriving now all over the place
The bike in good order arriving now with only pleasure
Now I expect Russel to give me a ride on his bicycle
