Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here she comes in a suit and tie
Shepards bush and a leopards pie
She's marching to the funky beat of
James Brown and his dancing feet
[Verse 2]
Gonna set your fish on fire
Pistol whipping of desire
So please do not resist your fate
I'll pick you up yes it's date
[Verse 3]
How could I forget to mention?
The bicycle is a good invention
Sitting there in a silent movie
Beside the only girl who really ever moved me
Happy days but sad I'm facin'
Heaven knows I'm on the case
How could I forget to mention the bicycle
[Verse 4]
Somebody told the world
The beauty of your verse
My girl, I heard it first
The beauty of your verse
[Verse 5]
A sticky finger and a wicked taste
Gotta a lot of love and a lyrical case
Be sure to write it in your book
I promise not to look
Wanna smell your sunny face
Funny place but its never a waste
I'd hope this fence to make amends
I hope this movie never ends
[Verse 6]
How could I forget to mention?
The bicycle is a good invention
Make it up, makin' you my business
A funny buttercup but I let her forgiveness
Happy days but sad I'm facin'
Heaven knows I'm on the case
How could I forget to mention the bicycle
[Verse 7]
Somebody told the world
The beauty of your verse
My girl, I heard it first
The beauty of your verse
Somebody told the world
The beauty of your verse
My girl, I heard it first
The beauty of your verse
