Champion at Keeping Them Rolling

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am an old-timer, I travel the road I sit in me wagon, and lumber me load Me hotel's a jungle, me cab's me abode And I'm well known to Blondie and Mary My liquor is diesel all laced with strong tea And the old highway code was my first ABC And I cut my eye teeth on an old AEC And I'm champion at keeping 'em rolling [Verse 2] I've sat in me wagon and broiled in the sun I've been snowed up in Shap on the Manchester run I've crawled through the fog with me twenty-two ton Of fish that was stinkin' like blazes From London to Glasgow to the Newcastle quay Liverpool, Preston and Bristol City The polones on the road give the thumb sign to me For I'm champion at keeping 'em rolling [Verse 3] You may sing of your soldiers and sailors so bold There's many and many a hero untold Who sits by the wheel through the heat and the cold Day after day without sleeping So watch out for cops and slow down at the 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 'em rolling
