Madness - Riding On My Bike - Текст песни

I went riding on my bike
With a spanner, pump, back and front light
That's all I need to ride in
A marathon I'm entering
I'm raising for a charity
Sponsors come running to me

I've learnt to cut that yellow line
And park my bike there at any time
The minute money for the meter men
The road tax up-to-date today
The petrol pumps been blown sky high
My MOT now a far cry

I got a birthday just last week
But you're not silly, believe in me
We sold our car to skip the fight
A pound I found I couldn't find
Oh no, you don't fool Maurice

I've had my fill of petrol fumes
Attached myself to big balloons
And pumped them full of precious air
The traffic jam looks with despair

I've ridden for your charity
And on my bike I long to see
Pedal-pushers at a mellow pace
With directions simple to trace
I hope we get that extra change
Improve that child's broken wing

I've learned to ride your yellow line
And park my bike there any time
The minute money for the meter men
The bike tax up-to-date today
I've been riding treetop high
My insurance is by the by

The minute money for the meter
The petrol pumps been blown sky high
