Mein Fahrad




This is my bike sicher und schnell
With a comical horn in the place of a bell

Your lights are kaput front and back
But your gears all function without any slack

I can find you in a crowd with your green bunny
Even if the suits, find you unique and funny

From the Reeperbahn, the Elbe and back to home
You are not really mine, we are together on loan

You came to me from Flensburg from my girlfriends father
Who now has a sweet car to carry himself farther

On the wrong side of the road do we travel and speed
The falschen seiter comments, we pay no heed

For I am an Ausländer, a stranger in this land
Whose many rules I find boring and bland

And if I am stopped, ignorance I will plead
A reasonable tactic, so long as I do not bleed

When you rest, you are secured with a big F&^% off chain
Safe from the losers, the dregs and the lame

With naught but the force of Benjamin's legs power
We blast though the city in under a hour

My little bike is clean and green
The likes of which you have never seen

In my hometown there are many hill
Expect when you need beer, cheap stuff from The Mill

I will get you new lights, back and front
We will fix you up, I will give  it a punt
