Lyrics

[Verse 1 (Andy, Robbie, All)] Well, at first I saw a T.E.U Rollin' up and rollin' down I wondered where the hell they stored the crew To go rollin' down the river (Hey!) [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down the river [Verse 2] Well, I used to be a rigger, and I worked like hell Rollin' up and rollin' down But now I'm workin' for the O.C.L To go rollin' down the river (Hey!) [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down the river [Verse 3] Well, cargo, it comes in T.E.U.s Rollin' up and rollin' down A twenty-foot box, boys, filled with booze To go rollin' down the river (Hеy!) [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down thе river [Verse 4] There's a Tilbury girl called Kettle Jane Rollin' up and rollin' down Hot on the boil, then off again To go rollin' down the river (Hey!) [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down the river [Verse 5] Well, she's got a mate called Teapot Anne Rollin' up and rollin' down She gets well-brewed, she likes a man To go rollin' down the river (Hey!) [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down the river [Verse 6] Well, Tilbury girls go 'round in pairs Rollin' up and rollin' down You won't catch them, boys, unawares And go rollin' down the river (Hey!) [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down the river [Verse 7] Well, we're the boys to kick her through Rollin' up and rollin' down To hell with the channel and the T.E.U Let's go down the river (Hey!) [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down the river [Chorus] Rollin' up and rollin' down We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town Twenty-four hours to turn around And go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
