Lyrics Yo La Tengo – High School Shop Class Constructs Bicycle Built For 26
Text:
Things got a little out of hand
In their high school metal shop
They constructed a bicycle built for two
Then decided they wouldn’t stop
They welded together a number of bikes
So everyone had his own seat
After months of planning and welding and building
The project was finally complete
It had dozens and dozens of pedals
And plenty of headlights and bells
The frame and all the fenders
Were painted in pretty pastels
But it can’t be removed from the classroom
The doorway is not very wide
And instead of the bikes lining up in a row
They connected them all side by side
So everyone had his own seat
After months of planning and welding and building
The project was finally complete
It had dozens and dozens of pedals
And plenty of headlights and bells
The frame and all the fenders
Were painted in pretty pastels
But it can’t be removed from the classroom
The doorway is not very wide
And instead of the bikes lining up in a row
They connected them all side by side
