Bike Trail Racer

Bike Trail Racer, by Bruce McFarland and Mark Walsh, Sacramento, CA,
1982, to the tune of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever."

first verse
Well I moved to Sacramento
It was some years back
There was a new site to see
A full Campy gruppo
And a new skin suit
You know that bike wasn't free

Chorus#1:
There goes a bike trail racer
Bike trail racer

second verse
The first time that I saw it
I was out for a stroll
A guy blew by me then a few more
I went to the bike shop and
He gave me the cure
I think I gotta pay more

chorus#1

Chorus#2:
Bike trail racer
Bike trail racer

refrain
It's more derailleurs
It's way more chains
It's just not sa-sa-sane
You know you bought it when you lead pacelines
And your wallet's dyin' dyin'
Won'tcha glue that tire...

guitar jam

third verse
Now I lead 'em in the big
Chainwheel full-time
You know they're learnin' from me
They know how hard to go
When it's the time to jam
Now I look fit to a 'T'
