Hi,
The song youre looking for is 'Brand new Key' by Melanie Safka,

It contains the following verse:
"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"
