My eye! Here's a lady bicyclist!
Look at her! Look at her! Look at her! Look at her!
Hi! Hi! Hi!
She's put her petticoats up the spout,
And now she has to go without;
She hopes her mother won't find out,
And thinks they won't be missed.
Oh my! Hi! Hi!
Keep your eye on the lady bi-
The lady bicyclist!
