Raleigh Blue Chopper

Lyrics

[JILL, spoken] The Chopper was the coolest bike I'd ever seen I wanted it so bad and I asked for it for what felt like forever And then I finally got it for my birthday It was this blue Raleigh with a big seat Not quite the banana seat And a small front wheel [JILL] Riding down First to Colorado Boulevard Faster than the breeze in my Raleigh blue Chopper Man at the store says, "It's a boy's bike" Yeah, I know, it's a Raleigh blue Chopper Girls in my neighborhood with their pretty girl bikes They don't like, no, we don't like еach other In my Raleigh blue Choppеr Flying down the hill to the JCC Kiddygarden kids all lookin' at me I can ride with no hands, with both eyes shut Swerve between cars at the Pizza Hut Boys that I used to beat up are getting tall I'm still small, but I'm no teeny bopper In my Raleigh blue Chopper Raleigh blue, Raleigh blue Chopper [JILL, spoken] When I was twelve I was this fierce little rocker who wanted to be Jimi Hendrix The boys used to think I was cool The girls, I think they envied me And I didn't have to tell anybody what I was I just was I had this imaginary band—whoosh My soulmates And they were perfect girl rockers of my imagination In black leather and Suzi Quatro shag So cool We'd rehearse "Hey Joe" in my garage Because, well, it was the only song we knew And on our breaks, we'd have a seance To bring back Jimi Hendrix And Abe Lincoln, and at the same time And we called ourselves [JILL & BAND, spoken] Secrets of the Vatican! [JILL] I could play a barre chord when I was six Play "Hey Joe" with the Hendrix licks I was a star, but Mr. Hill said Girls fingerpick, it's the boys who shred [JILL & BAND, spoken] Girls fingerpick, it's the boys who shred Girls fingerpick, it's the boys who shred [JILL] Got a radio strapped to the handlebars Singing "Telegram Sam," I'm a rock and roll star Five on the floor, wish I had more Fly away forever Kryptonite lock across my heart No one will keep us apart I'm fast, I'm a badass In my Raleigh blue Chopper Raleigh blue, I love you Raleigh [JILL & BAND] Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue [JILL] Raleigh blue Chopper Raleigh blue Chopper [JILL & BAND] Raleigh blue Chopper Raleigh blue Chopper [JILL, spoken] Come on [BAND] Ooh hoo hoo Ooh hoo hoo Ooh hoo hoo [JILL, spoken] This is it [BAND] Ooh hoo hoo
