Rewriting classics... #29: Bicycle Race

   Let's try to do one of these again... (and if you don't know what this is about, here is an overview)

Now the Tour de France for women is beginning, or - if you prefer - now the Tour the France for men is almost over, it is time to rewrite those ridiculous lyrics of Queen's Bicycle Race.

The rules are simple: 
1. One line per post (to stimulate the collaborative aspect).
2.
 It has to sound a bit like the original (rhyme, sounding like... like 
kids who mimic a song without knowing what they're actually singing).
3. It also has to fit the number of feet of the verses (more or less).
4. Same length as the original song.
5.
 If in the original song there are some repetitions, it is up to the 
person whose turn it is to go that way or not: to repeat or not to repeat, that's no question.
And: In a good prog tradition, the lyrics don't necessarily have to make much sense...

To help you out with the original, here's a "video" with the lyrics in it:

Have fun!
