Ik snap iets niet. Ik snap zelfs vrij weinig van dit liedje, eigenlijk. Het is een leuk deuntje, maar 'tekstueel' gezien snap ik hem niet.
Misschien mis ik iets. Ik bedoel; misschien zie ik gewoon een grap over het hoofd, of is er een of andere schunnigheid die ik niet vat. Ik snapte, zo rond mijn vijftiende, al de dubbelzinnige grapjes van klasgenoten ook niet; dus dat kan best.
Maar kan iemand mij vertellen waar die sleutel op slaat, in connectie met rollerskates???
Brand new key - Melanie Safka (mp3)
I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you've got something I need
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them on to see
I've been lookin around awhile
you've got something for me
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I rollerskate don't drive no car
Don't go so fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive, I've been all around the world
Some people say I done alright for a girl
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but that you weren't alone
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them on to see
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You've got a brand new key
