Arlo Guthrie - Motorcycle Song

The Motorcycle Song
words and music by Arlo Guthrie

CHORUS:
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want to die
I just want to ride on my motorcy...cle

It was late last night the other day
I thought I'd go up and see Ray
So l went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say, was:

CHORUS

Just last week I was on my bike
I run into a friend named Mike
Run into my friend named Mike
Mike no longer has a bike. He cries:

CHORUS

@eladto i have the motorcycle song on vinyl on Alice's Restaurant but i dont think its the explanation of the pickle version

Sitting back and listening to this makes me want to fire up a joint and turn it up and go outside and lay in the grass in the front yard...except it's January, it's after midnight and the neighborhood ain't too good....I guess I'll just have to lay here on the living room rug with the dog and pretend

@HumboldtZ

thanks for the answer, but i looked it up on wikipedia and the motorcycle song is not even listed in the track list..

could you be confused with another album?

[HumboldtZ]

@eladto Arlo himself owns the rights to this one, released on the album "Amigo", on his own record label.

[eladto]

anybody knows who owns the rights for this version?

i mean, was it ever released on a record/cassette/video/dvd/anyt­hing?

i need it to be able to broadcast it on my radio show..

thanks..
