My green Scwhinn Varsity

From Memorial Park
On the fourth of July
To Beverly Bank
And hot August skies

Flinging on down
old Devil’s hill
Gripping green tape
And ready to spill

And I shouldn’t have left
my favorite 10 speed
My varsity bike
all shiny and green

On the Prospect back porch
unlocked for the night
Without a mean dog
or even a light

To keep out old Charlie,
Fulloflove indeed
My bike in exchange
for a bagful of weed
