The roots of this song probably owe some credit to the Dylan line: “little red wagon, little red bike, I ain't no monkey but I know what I like” from his song "Buckets of Rain".
Any similarity in the songs ends there.
lyrics
I'd like to take you for a ride on my little red wagon today
I'd pick you up in my car but I gave it away
Go fast no I'm moving slow
I need some time to see which way to go
I'm trying to find a new mind to define
What's between you and me
Whoah! Easy round those curves
Hh hh hh ok I'll push you up this hill
But I know the thrill will be over just as soon as we reach the top
'Cause I've been there before and I know the other side is such a fast unsatisfying drop
I'd like to take you for a ride in my little red wagon today
I know you're not a little girl but can you come out and play
Go fast no I'm moving slow
I need some time to see which way to go
I want you near that much is clear
Shucks, I'll even let you steer for awhile
Now, I see that you know the red light means stop
And it's obvious you know that the green light means go
But what you don't seem to understand is that the light is currently on yellow
which means proceed with caution I mean slow
And can we get off this highway onto some easy-paced country road
I'd like to take you for a ride in my little red wagon today
I'd sweep you off upon my horse but he ran away
If you cry whoah! I'll take you home
I'm used to going it all alone
If you cry yes I just might confess riding with you is the best
At this time I'd like to point out there's no brake so can you make sure we're in the clear
I see by that look in your eye you could use a little bit more fear
You see, I've been in so many wrecks and I know it's hard to catch
Ourselves before we get into that crash
But you're not stopping so here we go again
It's Newton's law of objects in motion and it's speeding us to our end
Just take one last look at me and after we can say we'll still be friends
I'd like to take you for a ride on my little green skateboard today
I'd pick you up in my wagon but I threw it away
