Lyrics
Tommy told Mabel, “We just won’t be able
To use my car any more
But don’t worry, honey, a Sunday that’s sunny
And we’ll go ut as before
Refrain
On a bike built for two I’ll go riding with you
We’ll go rolleo rolling along
It’s the grandest machine, doesn’t need gasoline
Just go rolleo rolling along
Our hearts will go riding in rhythm
The breeze singing love’s sweetest song
Over valley and hill there is no greater thrill
Than rolleo rolling, rolleo rolling
Rolleo rolling along
Patter
Let’s be patriotic, honey, on a day that’s sunny
We’ll be savin’ gas and we’ll be savin’ money
Rolleo rolling along
We need rubber for the nation, in this situation
IF we want some recreation
We can go rolleo rolling along
I’ll be seein’ lots of you while we’re ridin’ together
As a healthy builder upper we can’t go wrong
So get on your bike and paddle addleo
For Mother Nature’s telling ev’ryone to go
Rolleo rolling, rolleo rolling
Rolleo rolling along
