Bike Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 2]
I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke
There’s a tear up the front
It's red and black, I've had it for months
If you think it could look good then I guess it should
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 3]
I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 2]
I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke
There’s a tear up the front
It's red and black, I've had it for months
If you think it could look good then I guess it should
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 3]
I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 4]
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here's a man, there's a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 5]
I know a room of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork
Let’s go into the other room and make them work
[Outro]
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here's a man, there's a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 5]
I know a room of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork
Let’s go into the other room and make them work
[Outro]
