Lyrics -

If there's one thing that I like
It's riding around on a motorbike
I'm a speed king when I once begin

I once won first prize two and six
I know all the dirt track dirty tricks
I'm a marvel when I'm out to win

In a fifty mile race I am the best
I ride five miles and skid the rest

So come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
I've been riding all my life, I started quite small
I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all

Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards
Down the hill I go at break-neck speed
See me coming down the street
With the winning post on the pillion seat
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

Come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind
Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind

Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider
My inside rattles when I go the pace
My ribs begin to shake about
There's all my spare parts sticking out
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

- uke solo --

With my gears in reverse
The other way round I'll finish first
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

Old School, I like me some old school from time to time.

They used a bit of this in the Closer to the Edge movie. Didn't realize there was an actual song and video.
