Play chorus first
I don't want a pick-le,
4 4d 5d 4d 5d 6
Just want to ride on my mo-tor-sick-le,
6d 6d 6 6d 5d 4d 5d 5d 4d 4
And I don't want a tick-le,
4 4 4d 5d 4d 5d 6
Cause I'd rath-er ride on my mo-tor-sick-le
4 6d 6d 6 6d6 5d 4d 5d 5d 4d 4
And I don't wan-na die,
5d 8d 7 7 6d 6d
Just want to ride on my mo-tor-cy---------cle

It was late last night the oth-er day,
5d 4d 5d 5d 5d 4 5d 5d 6d
I thought I'd go up and see Ray,
5d 6d 6d 6d 6d 5d 5d 4
So I went up and I saw Ray,
4 4d 5d 5d 5d 5d 5d 6d
There was on-ly one thing Ray could say, was
6d 6 6d 6 6d 6d 6d 6 5d 4d (go back to chorus)

Late last week I was on my bike,
Ran into my good friend Mike
Ran into my good friend Mike,
Mike no long-er has a bike, he cries (chorus)
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
