Champion At Keeping Them Rolling
I am an old-timer, I travel the road
I sit in me wagon and lumber me load
The hotel's me jungle, the caff's me abode
And I'm well known to Blondie and Mary
Me liquor is diesel oil laced with strong tea
And the old highway code was me first abc
I cut me eye-teeth on an old AEC
And I'm champion at keeping them rolling
I've sat in me cabin and broiled in the sun
Been snowed up on Shap on the Manchester run
I've crawled through a fog with me twentytwo tons
Of fish that was stinking like blazes
From London to Glasgow to Newcastle quay
From Liverpool, Preston to Bristol City
The polones on the road give the thumb sign to me
For I'm champion at keeping them rolling
You may tongue of your soldiers and sailors so bold
But there's many and many a hero untold
Who sits at the wheel in the the heat and the cold
Day after day without sleeping
So watch out for coppers and slow down at bends
Check all your gauges and watch your big ends
And zig with your lights when you pass an old friend
You'll be champion at keeping them rolling
I am an old-timer, I travel the road
I sit in me wagon and lumber me load
The hotel's me jungle, the caff's me abode
And I'm well known to Blondie and Mary
Me liquor is diesel oil laced with strong tea
And the old highway code was me first abc
I cut me eye-teeth on an old AEC
And I'm champion at keeping them rolling
I sit in me wagon and lumber me load
The hotel's me jungle, the caff's me abode
And I'm well known to Blondie and Mary
Me liquor is diesel oil laced with strong tea
And the old highway code was me first abc
I cut me eye-teeth on an old AEC
And I'm champion at keeping them rolling
I've sat in me cabin and broiled in the sun
Been snowed up on Shap on the Manchester run
I've crawled through a fog with me twentytwo tons
Of fish that was stinking like blazes
From London to Glasgow to Newcastle quay
From Liverpool, Preston to Bristol City
The polones on the road give the thumb sign to me
For I'm champion at keeping them rolling
You may tongue of your soldiers and sailors so bold
But there's many and many a hero untold
Who sits at the wheel in the the heat and the cold
Day after day without sleeping
So watch out for coppers and slow down at bends
Check all your gauges and watch your big ends
And zig with your lights when you pass an old friend
You'll be champion at keeping them rolling
I am an old-timer, I travel the road
I sit in me wagon and lumber me load
The hotel's me jungle, the caff's me abode
And I'm well known to Blondie and Mary
Me liquor is diesel oil laced with strong tea
And the old highway code was me first abc
I cut me eye-teeth on an old AEC
And I'm champion at keeping them rolling
