Eb5 B5 Eb5 B5 Eb5 B5 Eb5 B5
Kelsea won't you come out to play
Eb5 B5 Eb5 B5 Eb5 B5 Eb5 B5
I got my bicycle today
Eb5 B5
My father bought it for me
He says it cost him money
he's got a man in China
Who says he get them cheaply
Its got a magic handle
Its got a chromed up fender
Its got a sprocket card and
Its got some super powers
Chorus:
C#5 B5
What a pretty bicycle she said
F#5 E5 x2
I want one just like that
Eb5 B5 x4 w/distortion and band
Amiri won't you hear my song
I make it up as I go along
Its about a man in China
Who's got a wife and family
He sells his stuff for money
To feed his starving family
They got them 15 babies
There's not a girl among them
He's got some super powers
He's got some super powers
Chorus 2:
What a pretty song he said
I want one just like that
x2
What a pretty bicycle he said
I want one just like that

Verse 3: Bass and Drums only
Kelsea won't you come out tonight
Your body's burning just like mine
These are the things I brought you
These are the words I taught you
You've got a phony body
I want to touch so badly
I want to get so dirty
I want to give you money
I want to take your body
Tell me I know

Got a pretty song she said
I want one just like that x4
