Lyrics
The Bike Lady: This song needs more voices! It will take hundreds of voices to make this song the way I wanted to!

Gramps: I know where to get hundred of voices. I'll ask our friends. What about it, everybody? Wanna learn a song? Okay, here's what we'll do. I'll sing a line of the song, then you'll sing it back. Rod and Nicky will help you, won't you, guys?

Nicky: Sure, we will, Gramps.

Rod: You bet.

Gramps: (spoken) Great. Let's sing. Here we go. (singing) Sing what I sing, sing after me Be my echo if you can be Sing dee dee dee ( Rod and Nicky : dee dee dee ) Do do do ( Rod and Nicky : do do do) Hi hi hi ( Rod and Nicky : hi hi hi ) Lo lo lo ( Rod and Nicky : lo lo lo ) Pick a peck of peppers ( Rod and Nicky : Pick a peck of peppers ) Fiddle diddle dee ( Rod and Nicky : fiddle diddle dee ) Fiddle diddle dee ( Rod and Nicky : fiddle diddle dee ) Fiddle diddle dee ( Rod and Nicky : fiddle diddle dee ) (spoken) Now see if you can do this: (singing) Fiddle diddle diddle diddle fiddle diddle diddle diddle ( Rod and Nicky : fiddle fiddle diddle diddle )
