Bicycle- bicycle- bicycle
I want to ride my- bicycle- bicycle- bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like

You say black, I say white, you say bark, I say bite
You say shark, I say hey man Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like star wars
You say Rolls, I say Royce, you say God give me a choice
You say Lord, I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is

Bicycle- bicycle- bicycle
I want to ride my- bicycle- bicycle- bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my.....

Bicycle races are coming your way
So forget all your duties oh yeah
Fat bottomed girls they'll be riding today
So look out for those beauties oh yeah
On your marks, get set, go
Bicycle race, bicycle race, bicycle race
Bicycle bicycle bicycle

I want to ride my bicycle
Bicycle bicycle bicycle bicycle, I want a bicycle race

Hey, you say coke, I say caine, You say John, I say Wayne
Hot dog, I say cool it man
I don't wanna be the President of America
You say smile, I say cheese, Cartier, I say please
Income tax, I say jesus
I don't want to be a candidate for Vietnam or Watergate
Coz all I wanna do is

Bicycle (yeah) bicycle (eh) bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle bicycle (c'mon) bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like

Piesa reia tema respingerii valorilor societatii conventionale a bunurilor de consum ("Cartier", "Frankenstein", "Superman", "Star Wars"), dominata de intruziunea politicului in viata ("I don't wanna be the President of America", "I don't want to be a candidate for Vietnam or Watergate", "income tax") si de lipsa de intelegere si comunicare dintre oameni ("you say black, I say white"). Versurile propun o alternativa prin inlocuirea acestora cu o activitate naiva, copilareasca, inocenta, aproape bucolica in peisajul industrializat britanic: mersul pe bicicleta. Este aici si un simbol al libertatii, al posibilitatii de a face ce vrei ("I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like"), al uitarii sarcinilor sociale ("so forget all your duties, oh yeah!")

Melodia este dinamica, creand senzatia de miscare (ritmul ametitor al unei curse cicliste), atat prin partitura chitarei, cat si prin micile aluzii sonore (sunetul clopotelului unei biciclete).
