Fast Eddie

Lyrics

Pulling out of London on a summer evening Heading for the ferry to France Sliding Billy Watson told Fast Eddie He'd take this one last chance One more run, then we won't make any more Cos you know it's against the law if you get caught Watson said "I know a man who's sure to help her He thinks he's with a perfect girl He's known as Laughing Allie down in Turkey He's one of the biggest wheels So hit that engine and let me hear it roar Cos you know it's against the law if you get caught" Sliding Billy Watson and Fast Eddie Gеt through the border, you'd bettеr be ready If you should fail, you'll end in jail this time Crossing the border and into Turkey Thursday evening, dirty and beat Straight to the bar and there's Laughing Allie Always in the very same seat He don't ask questions cos he knows what they came for But you know it's against the law if you get caught Drinking Turkish coffee and passing the diagram Alex smiles all over his face Pretty soon the three of them get to laughing And have themselves another taste While the van gets loaded, they all have a little more But you know it's against the law if you get caught Sliding Billy Watson and Fast Eddie Get through the border, you'd better be ready If you should fail, you'll end in jail this time Bright and early the very next morning Our heroes hit the road Sliding Billy told Fast Eddie "We'll make a thousand least this load" We step up to the border post And there stands a smiling host Allie with the police chief Oh Lord, we've come to grief Ten years in a prison cell Sliding Billy says "What the hell?" You know it's against the law and we got caught
