Lyrics below are from sheet music found at Howie Cohen’s Everything Bicycles Collection. You can also hear it sung by The Merry Macs on Decca 18436 A (1942) at the Internet Archive. Note there are implied references to wartime rationing of rubber and gasoline:


ROLLEO ROLLING ALONG
(The Bicycle Song)
Words and music by Harry Tobias, Don Reid, & Henry Tobias, ©1942.

VERSE: Tommy told Mabel: “We just won’t be able
To use my car anymore.
But don’t worry, honey; a Sunday that’s sunny
And we’ll go out as before.

CHORUS: “On a bike built for two, I’ll go riding with you.
We’ll go rolleo-rolling along.
It’s the grandest machine; doesn’t need gasoline.
Just go rolleo-rolling along.
Our hearts will be riding in rhythm,
The breeze singing love’s sweetest song.
Over valley and hill, there is no greater thrill
Than rolleo-rolling, rolleo-rolling, rolleo-rolling along.

PATTER: “Let’s be patriotic, honey; on a day that’s sunny
We’ll be savin’ gas and we’ll be savin’ money,
Rolleo-rolling along.
We need rubber for the nation in this situation
If we want some recreation, we can go
Rolleo-rolling along.
I’ll be seein’ lots of you while we’re ridin’ together.
As a healthy builder-upper, we can’t go wrong.
So get on your bike and pedal-edal-o,
For Mother Nature’s telling ev’ryone to go
Rolleo-rolling, rolleo-rolling, rolleo-rolling along.”

Thompson, that vidclip in Melbourne was filmed 20-odd years before helmet-wearing became mandatory in Australia for cyclists!! (apparently a world first?!)

I didn't realise that it was still a controversial idea, but Wiki says :
"Studies of helmet use by injured cyclists were published from the late 1980s, some in Australia, both before and after helmet legislation. These have concluded both for and against the encouragement of bicycle helmet wearing and/or bicycle helmet legislation – the debate continues, without consensus"   : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_helmets_in_Australia

Has anyone have the chords to this song by the great Max Miller, I know there were song books years ago with this song with guitar chords though no luck in finding.   Thank you J.


When I was a lad,
I was bicycle-mad,
I rode in between motor cars.
But make no mistake,
I could put on the brake
Without touching my handlebars.

But I gave up biking, went hiking instead,
To a girl on a bike in the country I said,

Ch: Let's have a ride on your bicycle,
    Let's have a ride on your bike,
She put her bicycle under a tree,
I think that girl took a fancy to me,
She said to me as we both sat down,
'Tell me, what would you like?'
I said, 'My dear, if there's nobody near,
I'd like ride on your bike!

Ch:
After the ride I began to perspire,
It wasn't the ride, I'd been pumping her tyre.
I said to her as she rode away,
'Come back whenever you like,
But don't tell your husband when you get back home,
I've had a ride on your bike!'

Right, here's the other verse for the Max Miller song:

Now old Farmer Green, he's a good old has-been,
Of children he's more than a score.
Of wives he's had three, 'Now we're parted' said he,
But he still keeps the wolf from the door.
'You've got all these kids' I said, 'I can't get one,'
He whispered to me when I said 'How's it done?'
He goes for a ride on his bicycle,
He goes for a ride on his bike,
He gets up at six when he hears the alarm,
And after he's milked all the cows on his farm,
He goes for a ride on his bicycle,
To know where he goes I would like,
Today he rode by, I shouted, 'Hi Hi!
Let's have a ride on your bike!'

Any advance on that?

I was in my sophomore year in high school, l954, when I first heard this song. It had been written, produced and recorded by then so anything after that was not someone's original be it a relative or friend or a popular singer. The original recorded words were:

"I was goin' round the corner doin' 90 miles an hour when the chain on my bicycle broke", and etc.

The song didn't go on forever and there wasn't any vulgarity to it. As far as talent goes, there wasn't much of that either. Just a fun song kids in high school or junior high could sing. It became a popular camp song in the early to mid 50's. Sure enough someone wrote it and it has entertained people ever since.

she went sliding on the grass
with a muffler up her ass
and her titsies
playing dixie
on the spokes.

Then again, my Mother and her siblings used to sing worse ones in the 50's, like:

There was an old lady from Spain
Who threw her leg over the train
she laid on her back
and opened her crack
and let the cowboys play
one day she got a surprise
her belly began to rise
and out popped a nigger
with a funny little figger
and his ass between his eyes!

No idea what that means.

Yes, Max Miller it was, and many thanks to Martin Edmonds for the fragment he posted on 5 March 08- the song as I posted it is too short, and I've always thought there should be more. Time for some detective work, I think.

The song had a recent airing when, wielding an electric ukulele, I delighted a crowd of less than several on Saturday night during an outing with the phenomenally ignored 'Trembling Wheelbarrows'. I have always found vulgarity to be a useful substitute for talent.

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, everything 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, everything 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, everything 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, everything if you want things.

Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork.
Let's go into the other room and make them work.

Coming a little late to this thread I see my own unasked question was wonderfully and completely answered by one 'Rusty Dobro' back in August 2006! Whilst working for the illustrious firm of J.Murphy, Cable Contractors of Store Street, London back in 1973, one of my navvy colleagues, an Irish fellow rejoicing under the name of 'Tip' Delaney would suddenly, and for no imaginable reason save for the joy of being alive, break into the song "When I was a lad I was bicycle mad, I would ride between motorcars, and make no mistake I would put on the brake, without touching the handlebars". I urged him to sing more but that was all he could remember. I never discovered the rest of the lyrics, not, that is until now. What a resource this is!

OK, it's Bourvil:

Je m'en allais chercher des oies
Du côté de Fouilly les oies,
A bicyclette.
Soudain, qui vois-je devant moi ?
Un' belle fille au frais minois
A bicyclette.
En arrivant à sa hauteur,
J'y fais un sourire enchanteur,
A bicyclette.
Ell' rit aussi,
On parle alors
Et ell' me dit dans nos transports,
A bicyclette :
"Est-c' que vous et's coureur ?
- Non j'ne suis pas coureur.
- Ah ! c'que vous et's menteur !
- Moi, je suis balayeur.
- Avez-vous fait le tour ?
- Tour de France,
Non mais j'ai fait des tours,
Des détours des contours
Et même d'autres tours...
"Des tours de quoi ?", qu'em dit.
- Des tours d'vélo pardi !
- Vous êtes un blagueur.
Ah ! c'que vous et's coureur !

{Parlé:}
Vous parlez d'un raisonnement.
Pfé!

Dans les champs chantaient les grillons,
Le soleil dardait ses rayons
De bicyclette.
Ell' voulait que je chante un brin,
Mais à cela j'ai mis un frein
De bicyclette.
Près d'un tournant y avait un bois
Où l'on se dirigea, ma foi,
A bicyclette.
Mais comme ell' roulait près de moi
Voilà qu'em'fait presqu'a mi-voix,

- Moi... j'ne suis pas coureur.
- Ah ! c'que vous et's menteur !
- Moi, je suis balayeur.
- Vous savez fair' la cour !
- Oui, j'y réponds, car pour
Ce qui est de fair' la cour,
Je la fais chaque jour.
- La cour à qui ? qu'em' dit.
- La cour d'la ferm' pardi!
- Vous êtes un blagueur.
- Ah ! C'que vous et's coureur !

{Parlé:}
Vous parlez d'un raisonnement.
Y fallait pas qu'elle soit intelligente pour toujours dire ça. Enfin !

Dans l'bois, j'y disais "Voyez donc,
Sans boussole nous nous guidons"
De bicyclette.
Mais ell' répétait, pleine d'ardeur,
Que j'étais un coureur coureur
A bicyclette.
Je l'étais pas, ça c'est couru,
Mais alors, je le suis devenu
A bicyclette.
Et comme je courais vers le but
Voilà qu'em fait comm'au début,
A bicyclette

- Ah ! c'que vous et's coureur !
- Moi... j'ne suis pas coureur.
- Ah ! c'que vous et's menteur !
- Moi je suis balayeur.
J'y redis en courant,
Car j'continuais d'courir
Vers l'but à conquerir
(Vous êtes au courant)
Moi a forc' de courir,
Parcourir, discourir,
L'vélo s'est dégonflé
Et j'suis pas arrivé.
