Bicycle Taxi Bolero
by Max Solano
“Three wheels, one driver, and a slow bolero for a bumpy road. I sang it softer than I meant to, and it was right.”

Lyrics
Tinkle tinkle, here comes my ride Three wheels turning, a driver beside Flowers on the handlebars, a ribbon in the breeze Through the plaza shade and the orange trees Sit back, sit back, let the morning glide Nowhere to hurry on this easy ride Ay, bicycle taxi, take me round the square Ring that little bell, wave to the baker there Bicycle taxi, slow and sweet and free Every turn a bolero just for me La la la, la la la Bicycle taxi, la la la Past the fruit sellers calling out their names Past the little kids playing street-corner games The driver hums along with the nylon guitar Every cobblestone bump is a drumbeat star Sit back, sit back, let the morning glide Nowhere to hurry on this easy ride Ay, bicycle taxi, take me round the square Ring that little bell, wave to the baker there Bicycle taxi, slow and sweet and free Every turn a bolero just for me La la la, la la la Bicycle taxi, la la la Clap, clap, the brass comes in Round the fountain, let the dance begin Sunlight spinning in the silver spokes Smiles for everyone, the whole town's folks Ay, bicycle taxi, take me round the square Ring that little bell, wave to the baker there Bicycle taxi, slow and sweet and free Every turn a bolero just for me La la la, la la la Bicycle taxi, one more time for me
