Ain't that skate key impressive? I love how its even got "Chicago" on it...
I don't know why I love this song. I might have heard it while my parents had the AM on. I think some kid I knew had a pair. (Brings ya back, you old sad bastards??) I remember the song being fun and bouncy.
I got all kinds of excited when I heard it played at The California Clipper. Not as excited as having the Tamale come in with piping hot tamales. But pretty damn close.
Anyways, I always thought it was a cute and funny song till I saw these lyrics. Anyone know the original artist or song title? I can't seem to find it...
Brand New Roller Skates
I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated to your door at daylight.
It almost seems like you're avoiding me.
I'm o.k. alone but you've got something I need...
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You've got a brand new key.
I think that we should get together and try them on to see.
I been lookin around awhile, you got something for me.
I got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key.
I ride my bike, I rollerskate don't drive no car.
Don't go so fast, but I go pretty far.
For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world.
Some people say I done alright for a girl.
I asked your mother if you were at home.
She said 'yes,' but that you weren't alone.
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm o.k. alone but you got something I need...

No idea who the original is, Nuprin. I thought I had found it months ago, but now I don't really remember. I know I was doing random searches for Roller Derby information. Maybe researching that angle may help? ;)
