At the end of the day, the motorist and the cyclist will never get along in perfect harmony.
The driver and the cyclist should be friends,
Oh, the driver and the cyclist should be friends.
One man likes to push a hill, the other likes to be a
pill,
But that's no reason why they can't be friends.
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cyclists dance with driver's daughters,
Drivers dance with the cyclists' gals.
All:
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cyclists dance with driver's daughters,
Drivers dance with the cyclists' gals.
Jeremy:
I'd like to say a word for the driver,
He come outside and suffered a lot of traffic
Ned:
He come outside and became a lot of traffic,
Chris:
And parked 'em right across our favourite rides!
Jeremy:
The driver is a good and thrifty citizen,
No matter what the cyclist says or thinks.
You seldom see him drinkin' in a barroom,
Chris:
Unless somebody else is buying drinks!
Jeremy:
The driver and the cyclist should be friends,
Oh, the driver and the cyclist should be friends.
The cyclist climbs a hill with ease, the driver still has
working knees
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
All:
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cyclists dance with driver's daughters,
Drivers dance with the cyclists' gals.
Uncle Liggett:
I'd like to say a word for the cyclist,
The road he dances is difficult and steep.
He rides for days on end with jist a Brooks for a friend,
Lil Hammond:
I sure am feelin' sorry fer the saddle!
Uncle Liggett:
The driver should be sociable with the cyclist,
If he rides by and asks for food and water,
Don't treat him like a lous, make him welcome in yer house,
Jeremy:
But be sure that you lock up yer wife and daughter!
(fight breaks loose, Uncle Liggett fires a gun and everyone
freezes)
Uncle Liggett: Ain't nobody gonna slug out anythin'. Sing it Jeremy!
(Points gun at Jeremy) Dum- didy-dum-dum-dum!
Jeremy:
The driver and the cyclist should be friends....
Added voices:
Oh, the driver and the cyclist should be friends,
Everyone:
One man likes to ride all day, the other likes to swear away,
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
Uncle Liggett:
I'd like to teach you all a little sayin'
And learn the words by heart the way you should
I don't say I'm no better than anybody else,
But look at Contador dancing on those pedals!
Everyone:
I don't say I'm no better than anybody else,
But I'll be damned if I ain't jist as good!
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cyclists dance with driver's daughters,
Drivers dance with the cyclists' gals!
