P E D Spells Foot

Put your foot on the pedal and go
PED spells "foot" in Latin don't you know

An animal with four feet is a quadruped
That's four feet that can carry it up on ahead
A quadruped

Someone who takes a walk is a pedestrian
He uses his feet to move along the best he can
A pedestrian

Someone who can't move forward is impeded
Like a man whose feet are shackled, he's defeated
Impeded

A statue's feet stand firmly on a pedestal
That's the truth, I don't care if your friend said it's bull
A pedestal

Put your foot on the pedal and go
PED spells "foot" in Latin don't you know
