Madness - Riding On My Bike lyrics

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
