Description: Inspired by a bike ride where we met a older couple on a tandem bike. The jury is still out as to who caused them to take a spill, but down they went. After helping them up, I felt the muse upon me. By the end of the bike ride, this is what emerged.

Inspired by a bike ride where we met a older couple on a tandem bike. The jury is still out as to who caused them to take a spill, but down they went. After helping them up, I felt the muse upon me. By the end of the bike ride, this is what emerged.

lyrics

Tandem Bike
©2005 P Rogers/ C Abrahms

Paul: “Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?”
Paul & Carri:“I do, I do” I said and we’ve had a wonderful life
Both: Seven years of bliss doing anything we like
but it all went south when we went out and bought that Tandem Bike

Tandem Bike! Wheels go ‘round
Tandem Bike! We went down
Just the memory of it makes me wince
Tandem Bike! Paul :“pedal faster”
Tandem Bike! Carri: “I am you bastard”
Both: We’ve been cussin’ and a fightin’ ever since

Paul: She’s leaning to the left while I’m leaning to the right
Carri: I’m pedalin’ like Lance Armstrong while he brakes with all his might
Both: It’s clear to everybody that we’re going nowhere fast
We best start riding solo if we want this love to last

Tandem Bike! Wheels go ‘round
Tandem Bike! We went down
Just the memory of it makes me wince
Tandem Bike! (Paul): I’m doing all the work, dear
Tandem Bike! (Carri): Why’d I marry this jerk here?
We’ve been cussin’ and a fightin’ ever since

SOLO
Bridge:
Carri: I’ll share a bed with you, I’ll share my French fries too
We’ll walk hand in hand down a crowded avenue
Paul: But when you’re on that seat
You’re the furthest thing from sweet
and I ain’t gonna call you Daisy
Both: Though you’re making me half crazy…(Key modulation)….

Tandem Bike! wheels go ‘round
Tandem Bike! we went down
Just the memory of it makes me wince
Tandem Bike! (Paul: “Why you messing with my fanny pack?”
Tandem Bike! (Carri):“ I’m staring at your butt crack”
Tandem Bike! Paul: She’s aiming at my bald spot
Tandem Bike! Carri: Give me just one shot
We’ve been cussin’ and a fightin’ ever since

Tandem Bike!!!!!!!!
