Convoy

With the dark of the moon
On the sixth of June
And a Volvo pulling logs
A Bull Moschini with a free-go-on
And a DAF hauling hogs
We're heading north on the Pettigo Road
For the truck show in Irvine's town
With Hugo D, Joe Mahon, Big T
And George Gordon out to raise a pound

'Cause we got a little old convoy
Rocking through the night
Yeah, we got a little old convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothing going to get in our way
We're going to roll this trucking convoy
Across Ireland and the UK
Convoy

By the time we got close to Dublin docks
We had eighty-five tangs in all
There was road block up on the M50
And the portcullis wall to wall
"Yeah, them smokies are thick as bugs in a bumper
They even had a bear in the air"
I says, "Calling all tangs, we're on the bang
About to go a-hunting bear"

'Cause we got a little old convoy
Rocking through the night
Yeah, we got a little old convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothing going to get in our way
We're going to roll this trucking convoy
Across Ireland and the UK

Well, we got off the boat at Holyhead
Bosun tried to close us down
But we swapped all them digi-cards
And put them RM's down
By the time we got to Buckley's stop
Them wasps was getting smart

They'd brought some reinforcements
From the Welsh Evlo Yard
There was armoured cars and tanks and jeeps
And rigs of every size
Yeah, them chicken coops was full of wasps
And the choppers filled the skies
Well, we shot the line and went for broke
With a thousand screaming tangs
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreuse microbus

Well, we kept her lit on the 56
And prepared to cross at Lim

I'd seen the viaduct lined with bobbies
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I says, "Pigpen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We ain't going to pay no toll"
So, we crashed the gate, doing ninety-eight
I says, "Let them truckers roll, ten-four"

'Cause we got a little old convoy
Rocking through the night
Yeah, we got a little old convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothing going to get in our way
We're going to roll this trucking convoy
Across Ireland and the UK

'Cause we got a little old convoy
