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