The roller skates and the key...
Thanks for the lyrics, Mike.
Didn't know that was a Melanie song.
I always thought it was Joni Mitchell
And another which I did think was a Melanie song:

Lyrics (as sung by Harry Belafonte) here:

I always heard it as 'Mommy, Mommy, come and see"
Sad song.
Sadly, anti-war songs will soon make a comeback.
But, self-censorship being the media's strong suit, we likely won't hear
them.
Eve of Destruction
Universal Soldier
and so on...

>I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
>You've got a brand new key.
>I think we should get together and try

>I been lookin around awhile, you got

>I got a brand new pair of rollerskates
>You got a brand new key.
>I ride my bike, I rollerskate, don't drive no
>car.
>Don't go so fast, but I go pretty far.
>For somebody who don't drive, I been all
>around the world.
>Some people say I done alright for a girl.
>I asked your mother if you were at home.
>She said 'yes,' but that you weren't alone.
>It almost seems like you're avoiding me
