| 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 |
