D              A     Bm
Here she comes in a suit and tie
D              A     Bm
Shepard’s bush and a leopard’s pie
A   G            D  Bm
She marching to the funky beat of
G                D  Em
James Brown and his dancing feet
D         A     Bm
Gonna set your fish on fire
D           A   Bm
Pistol whipping of desire
A  G              D Bm
So please do not resist your fate
A                 D  Em
I’ll pick you up yes it’s a date

C               D                  Em
How could I forget to mention the bicycle
is a good invention
C                   D
Sitting there in a silent movie
   Em
Beside the only girl who really ever moved me
C               D
Happy days but sad I’m facin
Em
Heaven knows that I’m on the case
C               D                  B
How could I forget to mention the bicycle

Chorus:
G         D        C
Somebody told the world
G          D        C
The beauty of your verse
G          D        C
My girl I heard it first
G          D        C
The beauty of your verse

A sticky finger and a wicked taste
Got a lot of love and a lyrical case
Be sure to write it in your book
I promise not to look
Want to smell your sunny face
Funny place but it's never a waste
I'd hop this fence to make amends
I hope this movie never ends

How could I forget to mention the bicycle
is a good invention?
Make it up, making you my business
A funny buttercup but I lend her forgiveness
Happy days, but sad I'm facing
Heaven knows that I'm on the case
How could I forget to mention the bicycle?

Chorus - x2
