  • I rode my bicycle past your window last night
    I roller skated to your door at day light
    It almost seems like you're avoiding me
    I'm okay alone, but you got something I need

    Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
    You got a brand new key
    I think that we should get together and try them out, you see
    I been looking around awhile, you got something for me
    Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
    You got a brand new key

    I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
    Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
    For somebody who don't drive I been all round the world
    Some people think I done all right for a girl

    Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
    You got a brand new key
    I think that we should get together and try them out, you see
    I been looking around awhile, you got something for me
    Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
    You got a brand new key

    I asked your mother if you were at home
    She said "Yes" but you weren't alone
    Well, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
    I'm okay alone, but you got something I need

    Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
    You got a brand new key
    I think that we should get together and try them out, you see
    I been looking around awhile, you got something for me
    Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
    You got a brand new key
    Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
    You got a brand new key
    Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Mark from London, EnglandThe Wurzels were known as Adge Cutler and The Wurzels in the 1960s when they recorded the song "Drink Up Thee Zyder". Adge was sadly killed in a car crash.

    The three Wurzels recorded under their shortened name and had several hits (all parodies in the same style) in quick succession in the UK, this being the first and most successful, reaching number one. Note that, even though they all sang in exaggerated West Country accents, one of them was Scottish!
