|
What’s that roar
|
Rattling and rumbling?
|
Got no door but it doesn’t seem to matter
|
Duco’s scratched
|
Panels bent and dented
|
Can’t be matched
|
Those no frills, no brakes
|
Gut-thrasher, paddock-basher farm cars
|
|
What a sight,
|
Gurgling at sunrise
|
Packed so tight, chippers hanging out the windows.
|
Oily smoke,
|
No suspension
|
What a joke!
|
Those overheating, flat battery
|
Gut thrasher, paddock-basher farm cars
|
|
CHORUS
|
They’re looking like they’re living on borrowed time,
|
They sound just a little bit past their prime.
|
But a job needs doing and they’ll get it done,
|
Those bald-tyred, clapped out
|
Gut-thrasher, paddock-basher farm cars
|
|
What a ride!
|
Hasn’t got a muffler
|
Brakes applied
|
Doesn’t make a difference
|
Driver grins
|
Hasn’t got an idea ...
|
Bogged again!
|
In a flow-through, dust blown
|
Gut thrasher paddock-basher farm car
|
|
Got the scars
|
Battered round the edges
|
Poor old cars
|
Been put through the wringer
|
Driven through fences
|
Driven into ditches
|
Driven ‘til they die.
|
Those weather-beaten, rust-eaten
|
Gut-thrasher, paddock-basher farm cars
|
