The Fixed Gear Song

Sung to the tune of Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz"

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a new fixed-gear?
My friends all ride Kestrels, a new one each year.
Pedl'd hard all my lifetime, I do persevere,
So Lord, won't you buy me a new fixed-gear?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a flip-flop from Phil?
My legs on the descents will be a windmill.
I know I'll ride it up the steepest hill,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a flip-flop from Phil?

Oh Lord, won't you take me to Trexlertown?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me, let me ride 'round and 'round.
Oh Lord, won't you take me to Trexlertown?

Everybody!

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a new fixed-gear?
My friends all ride Kestrels, a new one each year.
Pedl'd hard all my lifetime, I do persevere,
So Lord, won't you buy me a new fixed-gear?

That's it!

(don't forget to cackle!)


The original:

"Mercedes Benz"

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

That's it!
