GET HERE
You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can
You can reach me by sail boat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer oh closer

You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man yeah
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can

Hey Look What I found....

"The Pushbike Song" by THE MIXTURES (1971)
This song is by The Mixtures, though it's often mistakenly attributed to Mungo Jerry. That's understandable. The Mixtures first hit it big by covering Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime", and their follow-up, "The Pushbike Song", is reputed to be very Mungo Jerry-esque. Oddly enough, The Mixtures also have a song called "Henry Ford" on the same album as "The Pushbike Song". "The Pushbike Song" made the Top 10 in the U.K. and Australia in 1971, and the lyrics are charming: "Riding along my pushbike honey / When I noticed you / Riding down town in a hurry honey / Down South Avenue / You looked so pretty / As you were riding along..."

Found the above on a Popculturemadness.com

It's apparently the 5th most despised song because of its lyrics :rofl:
Wow, I've just been educated!

Another one I found there

I came across this too, but on other sites it is attibuted to Mungo Jerry.
I am still convinced I saw them perform the track so wonder if it was on one of their albums or a 'B' side.
But, it appears that the Mixtures had the 'hit'
Good sleuth work Piglet :wink:
