Brand New Key

Words & Music:

Melanie Safka

 

C

I rode my bicycle past your window last night.

G7

I roller-skated to your door at daylight.

C

It almost seems like you're avoiding me.

F                           G7

I'm OK alone but you've got something I need, well,

 

CHORUS:

C

I've got a brand new pair of roller-skates, you've got a brand new key.

C

I think that we should get together and try them on to see.

F                                     G7

I been lookin' around awhile; you got something for me.

C

Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller-skates, you got a brand new key.

 

I ride my bike, I rollerskate, don't drive no car.

Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far.

For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world.

Some people say I done all right for a girl.

 

I asked your mother if you were at home.

She said yes, but you weren't alone.

Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me.

I'm OK alone but you got something I need, well.

 

CHORUS:
