This song is about a boy who tries to attract a special female that he finds fits in with his “world”. To do this, he shows her transportation devices, clothing, pets, foods, and “special” rooms.
This is the last track of Pink Floyd’s debut: “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”.
[Verse 1]
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 2]
I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke
There’s a tear up the front
It's red and black, I've had it for months
If you think it could look good then I guess it should
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 3]
I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 4]
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here's a man, there's a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want thing
[Verse 5]
I know a room of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork
Let’s go into the other room and make them work
[Outro]
