Up until now my ideas have been latent |
|
The cycling world will never be the same |
|
But come first light |
|
I'll be taking out a patent |
|
And from that day |
|
If a bike be found lying on the ground again |
|
I'm not to blame |
|
What joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring |
|
Bolted down by the back wheel, activated by the heel |
|
What joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring |
|
What chicken laid the egg from whence inside an idea hatches? |
|
From prototype to production lines to the first one hundred batches |
|
I will do for parking bikes what anchors did for sailing |
|
What joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring |
|
There's handle bars for steering and there's tyre tread for traction |
|
A tiny bell for friends you pass and greet |
|
But when they add my ingenious contraption |
|
Mouths will fall |
|
And eyebrows will rise and staring eyes will meet |
|
The bike complete |
|
What joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring |
|
Bolted down by the back wheel, activated by the heel |
|
What joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring |
|
There'll be articles in newspapers and dinners at the town hall |
|
My first cheque's for a thousand bucks, now that's one spicy meatball |
|
But all the fame and fortune in the world will not compare |
|
To the joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring |
|
Spring Now bikes around the world can stand alone without their owners |
|
And I can get some cash on the side but that's just a bonus |
|
When underneath their helmets |
|
I will see their smiling faces |
|
What joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring |
|
Piece of metal and a spring |
