PEDAL POWER

Weedo, Scotty:

Roll roll roll roll
along along the road [x2]
I ride ride ride my bike,
I ride my bike
Pedal power, pedal power.

Lilith, Maggi:

Through my hair I'm feeling the breeze,
The power of life flows through my knees,
I see the forest as I ride through the trees,
I'm my own motor, the freedom I like.
The bike is simple and I'm in control.
On the road I can just roll and roll.
On the earth I am feeling whole.
I'm my own motor as I ride my bike

Pedal Power roll and roll,
The wheel of life has got my soul..

(repeat)



JANET'S SONG (LET ME LET ME)

Janet:

I am feeling boxed in, encased in tin,
But I've always lived in cars.
Thought it was silly travelling,
Just bicycle pedalling,
Thought I'd get sore legs and crotch sweating.
Now what I want to feel is a light pair of wheels.
To pedal near and pedal far.
I want to be persistent,
Although the goal be distant,
I want to get a life, a car-free existence.

Let me, let me, let me, let me,
I want to get so sweaty,
I want to ride, I want to ride
with a Dino on a bike.

Now I just want to be fossil free,
Pedal up and pedal down.
I want to be persistent,
Although the goal be distant,
I want to get a life, a car-free existence.

Let me, let me, let me, let me,
I want to get so sweaty,
I want to ride, I want to ride
with a Dino on a bike.
