Bicycle Song
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Gemini
I'm a pedal pusher, handlebar gripper
Four square inches on the ground.
I'm a gear shifter, curb hugger
On two thin tires going round and round and round.
Mama took the training wheels off yesterday.
I've skinned my elbows, knees and hands, been riding all day.
Daddy says, "Stay in the driveway, far away from cars."
We're running out of band-aids and I'm still not going far.
Dad and I went to the park to practice riding more.
He said to Mom before we left, "Tomorrow I'll be sore."
All day he ran beside me and he held on to the seat.
He said to Mom, "I'm out of shape, got blisters on my feet."
Today I went around the block and up and down the hill.
When school starts up next fall, I'll go just anywhere I will.
I'm practicing my wheelies and my turn-arounds-in-air.
I don't know why my Mama says I'm giving her gray hair.
I took my sister for a ride while it was still light.
I stood up and I pedaled and she squealed and held on tight.
Left skid marks up and down the street, thrilled her to the bone.
She said she's old enough to ride and wants one of her own.
chorus last time:
Now she's a pedal pusher, handlebar gripper,
Four square inches on the ground.
She's a gear shifter, curb hugger,
On two thin tires going round and round and round,
Round and round and round and round.
