  • Song Lyrics:
    CHORUS:
    I don't want a pickle
    Just want to ride on my motorsickle
    And I don't want a tickle
    'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
    And I don't want to die
    I just want to ride on my motorcy...cle

    It was late last night the other day
    I thought I'd go up and see Ray
    So l went up and I saw Ray
    There was only one thing Ray could say, was:

    CHORUS

    Just last week I was on my bike
    I run into a friend named Mike
    Run into my friend named Mike
    Mike no longer has a bike. He cries:

    CHORUS
    (I B Emerson)

    The mp3 sample needs to be replace from a live version of the song to the studio recording on Alice's Restaurant.
