"Oh how they cheer when the town bikes appear
pink tights and hoop skirts and dildos (oh dear!)
they dance around with their steps that astound
and lashings of ginger beer!


kicked out of ballet school
two chicks! four tits! how cool!
they impart their wisdom on the masses
with wit, their moves and nice asses
Oh how they cheer when the town bikes appear
pink tights!hoop skirts! and lashings of ginger beer!
Oh how they cheer when the town bikes appear !
they dance around with steps that astound
ooh! ch ch ch ooh! AAH!

the good ship town bike is about to set sail
to wilder shores and beyond the pale
they'll round the horn with a jig and a reel
and roger the cabin boy will see to the keel
Oh how they cheer when the town bikes appear
pink tights!hoop skirts! and lashings of ginger beer!
Oh how they cheer when the town bikes appear !
they dance around with steps that astound
ooh! ch ch ch ooh! AAH!

Oh how they cheer when the town bikes appear!
pink tights and hoop skirts and dildos (oh dear!)
they show the way that they know is the best with the lights from their illuminated breasts
