Lycra Songtext
von David Gibb

Standing in the playground
Waiting for my parents at the end of school
You have to wait with the teacher
Until you see the person who is collecting you
So I′m waiting patiently
Wondering who it'll be
Will it be Dad or Mum?
And then I see a face I know
Speeding down the road
Oh, here Dad comes

Oh no, it can′t be
Dad's on his bike and he is

Wearing Lycra
Stretchy and elastic
He thinks he looks fantastic
Oh no, my Dad is wearing Lycra
No need for imagination
When everything is out on show
My Dad is wearing Lycra


I am so embarrassed
I'm begging with him, "Dad, let′s go"
′Cause he is wearing Lycra

Lycra

At a birthday party
It's almost at the end and I′m ready to go
There was a bouncy castle
We all got a piece of cake to take home
And out the corner of my eye
Suddenly I spy a face I know
And though I try hard to ignore him
He's standing at the door and he′s waving hello

Oh no, it can't be
Dad′s on his bike and he is

Wearing Lycra
Stretchy and elastic
He thinks he looks fantastic
Oh no, my Dad is wearing Lycra
No need for imagination
When everything is out on show
My Dad is wearing Lycra


I am so embarrassed
I'm begging with him, "Dad, let's go"
′Cause he is wearing Lycra

Lycra

Other dads wear jeans and t-shirts
Other dads wear suits and ties
Other dads don′t cycle everywhere
Other dads have cars they drive
Other dads wear jeans and t-shirts
Other dads wear suits and ties
Other dads don't cycle everywhere
Other dads don′t
Other dads don't
Other dads don′t wear

Lycra
Stretchy and elastic
He thinks he looks fantastic
Oh no, my Dad is wearing Lycra
No need for imagination
When everything is out on show
My Dad is wearing Lycra

I am so embarrassed
I'm begging with him, "Dad, let′s go"
'Cause he is wearing Lycra
