JUST FOR KICKS
(Charles Blackwell)


Mike Sarne - 1963





If there's one thing that I like it's a burn-up on my bike
A burn-up with a bird up on my bike
Now the M1 ain't much fun till ya try and do a ton
A burn-up on my bike, that's what I like

Just for kicks I ride all through the night 
My bird hangs on in fright when I do the ton for kicks 

When my bird decides to turn up, I'm off to have a burn-up
A burn-up with a bird up on my bike
When I pass a little scooter, I blast 'im with me 'ooter
A burn-up on my bike, that's what I like

Just for kicks I ride all through the night 
My bird hangs on in fright when I do the ton for kicks

We meet the other ton-up boys at Red's Cafe ev'ry night
We just drop in to see the birds an' sometimes 'ave a bite
We spend a couple o' hours just tunin' our machines
With our black leather jackets and our oily greasy jeans

If there's one thing that I like it's a burn-up on my bike
A burn-up with a bird up on my bike
Now the M1 ain't much fun till ya try and do a ton
A burn-up on my bike, that's what I like

Just for kicks I ride all through the night 
My bird hangs on in fright when I do the ton for kicks

Just for kicks I ride all through the night 
My bird hangs on in fright when I do the ton for kicks
