The Peugeot Mixte Song

Inspired by the "What Would You Do With a Peugeot Mixte" thread on bikeforums.net (yes, I'm kokorozashi):

What do you do with a Peugeot mixte,
What do you do with a Peugeot mixte,
What do you do with a Peugeot mixte --
Earl-aye in the morning?

Chorus:
Way-hay, and up she rises,
Chainrings and cogs o' diff'rent sizes,
Way-hay, and up she rises,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Spot 'er in the shop with a flat tire on 'er,
Spot 'er in the shop with a flat tire on 'er,
Spot 'er in the shop with a flat tire on 'er,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Strip 'er on down and dip 'er in chromy,
Strip 'er on down and dip 'er in chromy,
Strip 'er on down and dip 'er in chromy,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Build 'er on up as a free-wheel onespeed,
Build 'er on up as a free-wheel onespeed,
Build 'er on up as a free-wheel onespeed,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Soak 'er in grease 'til she sprouts ball bearings,
Soak 'er in grease 'til she sprouts ball bearings,
Soal 'er in grease 'til she sprouts ball bearings,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Fit 'er all up with some racks and fenders,
Fit 'er all up with some racks and fenders,
Fit 'er all up with some racks and fenders,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Jump on 'er saddle and drop some roadies,
Jump on 'er saddle and drop some roadies,
Jump on 'er saddle and drop some roadies,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Turn 'er around and ride 'er windward,
Turn 'er around and ride 'er windward,
Turn 'er around and ride 'er windward,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Ride 'er to the pub for a pint o' Guiness,
Ride 'er to the pub for a pint o' Guiness,
Ride 'er to the pub for a pint o' Guiness--
Shortly after eleven.

Chorus

Lock 'er in the rack until you're sober,
Lock 'er in the rack until you're sober,
Lock 'er in the rack until you're sober,
Earl-aye in the morning.

Chorus

Ride 'er back home while you're still hung over,
Ride 'er back home while you're still hung over,
Ride 'er back home while you're still hung over,
Earl-aye in the morning.

That's what we'll do with a Peugeot mixte,
That's what we'll do with a Peugeot mixte,
That's what we'll do with a Peugeot mixte,
Earl-aye in the morning!
