I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates
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

{Refrain}
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
I been lookin' around a-while (La, la la la la, la la)

You got something for me. (La, la la la la, la)
C
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates,

You got a brand new key.

C
I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
G7
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
C
For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world
F G7
Some people say I done all right for a girl

C
I asked your mother if you were at home
G7
She said yes, but you weren't alone
C
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
F G7
I'm OK alone, but you got something I need, well

{Refrain}
