The Lyrics
I pump to swell the tube,
to make it rise.
I cannot stop till grew
hard as iron.
I keep applyin’
a lot of hand action
to make it grow stout.
Forward than retraction—
this action is what it’s all about.
Pumping to swell the tube:
That is the prize,
great prize.
I pump through
through and through; do
pumping slew
(but not slough)—
it gets round,
I’m almost there
to a victory.
It won’t go down—
hopefully.
I pumped to swell the tube
in tire of bike.
to make it rise.
I cannot stop till grew
hard as iron.
I keep applyin’
a lot of hand action
to make it grow stout.
Forward than retraction—
this action is what it’s all about.
Pumping to swell the tube:
That is the prize,
great prize.
I pump through
through and through; do
pumping slew
(but not slough)—
it gets round,
I’m almost there
to a victory.
It won’t go down—
hopefully.
I pumped to swell the tube
in tire of bike.
