Pedestrian’s Cadence

I am a proud pedestrian, and I have the right of way.
I do have, I do have, I do have, I do have, I do have the right of way.
You can run me over if you like,
You can crash into me on your bike,
But it won’t be much of a lucky strike
‘Cause I’ve got the right of way.

I am a proud pedestrian, so listen to what I say.
You’ll listen, you’ll listen, you’ll listen, you’ll listen, you’ll listen to what I say.
Many’s the day it’s rained or snowed
When I’ve bravely stridden (or maybe “strode”),
So look both ways when I cross the road,
‘Cause I’ve got the right of way!
