Dammit, guys.....you're supposed to be the Ones Who Know.  And I KNOW  I had 
a CD with a woman (NOT Melanie, but someone like, famous, whose name is or  
was a household name, doing this song) someone who made it famous.  I would  
have SWORN it was Baez, but I can't find the damned CD it's probably being used 
 
as a floor mat by my step-daughter in my husband's jeep.  Okay.  On  the same 
CD, the same woman sang Summertime.....

Yup, that's the song, and it's too cute.  But  she's not the one who  
popularized it.  A more famous name in the  60's or 70's did and my brain is  
swiss 
cheese...

Melanie Safka. "I've Got a  Brand New Pair  Of Roller Skates"

I rode my bicycle past your window  last night
I  roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems  like you're avoiding  me
I'm okay alone, but you got something I  need

Well, I got a brand  new pair of roller skates
You got a  brand new key
I think that we should  get together and try them out you  see
I been looking around awhile
You got  something for me
Oh! I  got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a  brand new key

I  ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't  go too fast, but  I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all  around the  world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl

Well, I  got a  brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that   we should get together and try them out you see
I been looking around   awhile
You got something for me
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller   skates
You got a brand new key

I asked your mother if you were  at  home
She said, yes .. but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think  that  you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you've got something  I  need

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a  brand new  key
I think that we should get together and try them out to  see
La la la  la la la la la, la la la la la la
Oh! I got a brand new  pair of roller  skates
You got a brand new   key
