(& her brother Evan.. who were both in the Gingerbread Men)
Ridin' along on my
pushbike, honey. When I noticed you. Ridin' downtown in a
hurry, honey, Down South Avenue.
You looked so pretty as
you were ridin' along. You looked so pretty as
you were singing this song.
Well, I put on the speed, And I tried catching up,
But you were pedalling
harder too. Ridin' along like a
hurricane, honey, Spinning out of view.
You looked so pretty as
you were ridin' along. You looked so pretty as
you were singing this song. Sing a song!
A-round, round, wheels
goin' round round round. Down up pedals, down up
down. But I gotta get across
to the other side of town, Before the sun goes
down. Hey, hey!
Now we're riding along
on the bicycle, honey. That's a bicycle built
for two. A-lookin' at my honey in
the rear-view mirror; Now I got a better view.
You looked so pretty as
you were ridin' along. You looked so pretty as
you were singing this song. Sing a song!
A-round, round, wheels
goin' round round round. Down up pedals, down up
down. But I gotta get across
to the other side of town, Before the sun goes
down. Hey, hey
