lyrics

On A Bike You Can
with Don Stewart

If you ride a red bike
You won't make smog like a car
Grab your handlebar
Wave at that radar
On a bike you can
But you can't go looking for the stars
When your driving in a car

If you ride a blue bike
You won't smell as badly as a bus
A bike is inconspicuous
Isn't that a plus
On a bike you can
But you can't suck the air near us
While we're standing by the bus

If you ride a black bike
Your brakes don't hiss like a truck
You can run a-muck
Quietly thunderstruck
On a bike you can
But you can't with your retreads
When you're screaming like a truck

If you ride a chrome bike
You can go faster than a boat
There's no need to gloat
Just re-tint your undercoat
On a bike you can
But you can't expect to vote
If you can hardly stay afloat

Warm, wise and funny, Barry Peters is an artist worth introducing to every child. ... more
