We loaded the van and drove for miles,
Traversed the land and crossed the seas
Sang some songs and flashed our smiles
Then something brought me to my knees
Now please don’t make me plead
Pulled into a roadside stop,
Mechanic “fix the alternator”
Now put your foot down on the gas
cos we’ve got to meet with Ultan later
The point I make cannot be straighter
You can’t keep doing that, well it’s not even nice
I let it slide the first time it’s not slipping by my twice
You can’t keep doing that, it’s getting hard to breathe
If one of us has lost control, then one of us should leave
Had the van searched at the docks,
looking just like Right Said Fred
If Marv knew what was in the back,
one of us would have dropped down dead
Instead, I got the double bed
Took a stroll around the town,
to bag a tourist souvenir today
But all the shops are closing down,
I don’t know how they make it pay
No one gets up ‘til midday
You can’t keep doing that, well it’s not even nice
I let it slide the first time it’s not slipping by my twice
You can’t keep doing that, it’s getting hard to breathe
If one of us has lost control, then one of us should leave
Imelda put on her red shoes, I put the horns back on my head
It was nice of her to talk to me, caught 1 in 5 of what she said
And this is what she said
Mad dog Mike was on the bus,
we’re knocking back the poteen
Now it’s the Undertones and us,
we found this tight little scene
Imelda’s looking mean
Bandaoke was a blast,
Joe slayed them with his Sex on Fire
As The Wireless drove him on,
he hit the high notes even higher
He could have sung in a children’s choir
You can’t keep doing that, well it’s not even nice
I let it slide the first time it’s not slipping by my twice
You can’t keep doing that, it’s getting hard to breathe
If one of us has lost control, then one of us should leave
