Bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
I want to ride my bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
I want to ride my bicycle.
I want to ride my bike.
I want to ride my bicycle.
I want to ride it where I like.

You say black. I say white.
You say bark. I say bite.
You say shark. I say, "Hey man!
Jaws was never my scene,
And I don't like Star Wars."

You say Rolls. I say Royce.
You say God. Give me a choice!
You say Lord. I say, "Christ,
I don't believe in Peter Pan,
Frankenstein or Superman."

All I want to do is…
Bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
I want to ride my bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
I want to ride my bicycle.
I want to ride my bike.
I want to ride my bicycle.
I want to ride my…

Bicycle races are coming your way,
So forget all your duties, oh yeah.
Fat bottomed girls,
They'll be riding today.
So look out for those beauties, oh yeah.

On your marks… get set… go!
Bicycle race. Bicycle race. Bicycle race.

Bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
I want to ride my bicycle. Bicycle.
Bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
Bicycle race.

You say coke. I say caine.
You say John. I say Wayne.
Hot dog! I say, "Cool it man,
I don't wanna be the President of America."

You say smile. I say cheese.
Cartier. I say please.
Income tax. I say, "Jesus,
I don't wanna be a candidate for
Vietnam or Watergate."

'Cause all I wanna do is
Bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
I want to ride my bicycle. Bicycle. Bicycle.
I want to ride my bicycle.
I want to ride my bike.




I want to ride my bicycle.
I want to ride it where I like.

Fun Fact: Neil releasing this cover in May 2004, prompted me to search through some file sharing programs for other covers or remixes of "Bicycle Race", as I was very much wont to do, and that led me to downloading something called "Bicycle Race REMIX by PLUS-TECH SQUEEZE BOX" and the rest is history.
