Recorded 50 Years Ago Today

This Chap …

Participated in a radio show yesterday, where he was thinking about The Summer of Love, Sergeant Pepper’s and Piper at the Gates Of Dawn. They are all connected - and if you want to reflect on this chap’s reflections - then you can pop over here and listen, read and absorb - would love to have your take. Meanwhile - as part of that - he noted that this song was recorded exactly 50 years ago today. I know … right?

I’ve got a bike. You can ride it if you like. It’s got a basket, a bell that rings and Things to make it look good. I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it. You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things. I’ve got a cloak. It’s a bit of a joke. There’s a tear up the front. It’s red and black. I’ve had it for months. If you think it could look good, then I guess it should. You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things. I know a mouse, and he hasn’t got a house. I don’t know why. I call him Gerald. He’s getting rather old, but he’s a good mouse. You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things. I’ve got a clan of gingerbread men. Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men. Take a couple if you wish. They’re on the dish. You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things. I know a room of musical tunes. Some rhyme, some ching. Most of them are clockwork. Let’s go into the other room and make them work.

Wot no Trains?

Who needs a train when you have a bike?
