C . . . | . . . .
I rode my bi-cycle past your win-dow last night.
G7 . . . | . . . .
I rol-ler skat-ed to your door at day-light
C . . . | . . . .
It al-most seems like you’re a-voiding me,
F . . . | G7\ (---tacet------)
I’m o-kay al-one, but you got something I need.

C . . . | . . . .
Chorus: Well, I got a brand new pair of rol-ler skates, you got a brand new key.
C . . . | . . . .
I think that we should get to-ge-ther and try them out you see
F . . . | . . . G7\
I been look-ing a-round a-while, you got some-thing for me. Oh,
C . . . | . . . .
I got a brand new pair of rol-ler skates, you got a brand new key.

C . . . | . . . .
I ride my bike, I rol-ler skate, don’t drive no car.
G7 . . . | . . . .
Don’t go too fast, but I go pret-ty far.
C . . . | . . . .
For somebody who don’t drive, I’ve been all a-round the world.
F . . . | G7\ (---tacet------)
Some peo-ple say, I done all right for a girl.
