Help--roller skate song

[AmyKE]

I've tried my usual lyrics searches before posting here, but I'm trying
to find artist and title (and possibly the rest of the lyrics!) to the
song that has the phrase, "I've got a brand-new pair of roller skates;
you've got a brand-new key."

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it. Either e-mail or post, please.

Amy

Song - Brand New Key
Artist - Melanie (Real name: Melanie Safka)

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 care
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

Oh, yea yea, oh, yea yea yea, oh yea yea yea yea yea yea

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 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

It's Melanie (Melanie Safka) and it's on the server.

Maybe you were searching for the entire phrase exactly as quoted
above? If so, you wouldn't have gotten any hits -- the actual
lyrics say "I got" and not "I've got".

I found it by searching for "skates" and "brand new key" via the
server's full text search option.
