Prius Pedals on my Bike

Here are some song lyrics I composed while bicycling, in honor of the upcoming Bike To Work Week. Picture a tired cyclist mixing dreams of relief from pedaling along with news reports of uncontrollable acceleration and sticking gas pedals. Sing along with your favorite three-chord blues sequence.

No, I won't post a video of my singing. Not unless someone demands it...

I want some Prius pedals; Prius pedals on my bike.

Automatic cruise control. I want to fly like a kite.

1) Well, I looked at my watch, and it was quarter to three,

Nine hours pedaling, it hurts my knee.

It's the same all day, it's such a bore.

I just can't push these pedals no more.

I want some Prius pedals; Prius pedals on my bike.

Self-powered cruise control. I want to fly like a kite.

2) Well, my baby left town with my friend and my dog

She won't pedal with me cause it's such a slog.

He's got Prius pedals and they're fast to the core,

She won't come home 'til I pedal no more.

I want some Prius pedals; Prius pedals on my bike.

I can't push no more. I want to fly like a kite.

3) Well, I got Prius pedals. Can't believe my luck.

When they kick in, I have to squat in a tuck.

I go faster than cars, I go faster than trucks.

I scream the whole time, Oh Yuucccckkkk.

I got some Prius pedals, Prius pedals on my bike.

I don't pedal no more, I just fly like a kite.
