I run around town, around round the town 
With the pedal to the metal
The pedal to whatever 
I run around town, around round the town 
With the pedal to the metal
The pedal to whatever 
I run around town, around round the town 
With the pedal to the metal
The pedal to whatever 
I run around town, around round the town 
With the pedal to the me
The pedal to whatever 

Shootin' round these tricky bends 
I hear a conversation in my head 
Thinkin' of the place to be 
I sing a little melody instead 
I won't argue with myself, 
Today my legs are gettin' some help. 
My mama tells me I should stop 
Go and get a real job 
That can't be the way that I roll 
And everybody's growing up, 
Having kids and paying rent 
And I'm getting count of it all 

[Chorus]
Gonna ride my bike until I get home 
Gonna ride my bike until I get home 
Gonna ride my bike until I get home 
Gonna ride my bike until I get home 

Thinking 'bout the girl I met, 
A phone call that I haven't made yet. 
All the things I've done this week, 
And all the things I should've done instead. 
I sweep the pavements and the parks,
I hope I get home before its dark 

My mama tells me I should stop 
Go and get a real job 
That can't be the way that I roll 
And everybody's growing up, having kids and paying rent 
And I'm getting count of it all 

[Chorus]

I can't understand it, but I can't really stand them 
Girls love cars, cars cause harm to the planet 
Don't you wanna take a joyride on my tandem 
Humming on a huffy, don't I look so handsome 
Bass to bikes there so nice there priceless 
Working on my calves, the triceps to biceps, 
Bypass the gas stop at traffic lights 
I get a round round without a driver's license 
Hello (hello) you walking, (farewell) farewell I'm off then 
And I'm whipping through the city 
With a forty and a fifty Polly popping on my wheelie 

My mama tells me I should stop 
Go and get a real job 
That can't be the way that I roll 
And everybody's growing up, 
Having kids and paying rent 
And I'm getting count of it all 

[Chorus]

And I'm whipping through the city
With forty and a fifty Polly popping on my wheelie 

[Chorus]
