Sunday driver
[Verse]
G D G
Well, I've been a Sunday driver noo for many's a happy year,
G D
I've never had my Morris Minor oot o' second gear.
G D
I can drive at fifty miles an hour on motorway or track,
G D G
with me wife up front beside me and her mother in the back.
[Chorus]
C G
There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy,
D G D G
and her sister's Granny and four of her chums, and Auntie Jean.
[Verse]
G D G
In a crowd of fifty trippers you can always pick me oot,
G D
by my “Don't blame me, I voted Tory” sticker on the boot,
G D
wi' my bunch of heather stickin' from my radiator grille,
G D G
and me stick-on transfer bullet holes and licence for tae kill.
[Chorus]
C G
There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy,
D G D G
and her sister's Granny and four of her chums, and Auntie Peg.
[Verse]
G D G
I've a hundred plastic pennants just to show you where I've been,
G D
my steering wheel is clad in simulated leopard-skin.
G D
Up front fae the drivin' mirror hangs a plastic skeleton,
G D G
and in the back a dog wi' eyes that flicker off and on !
[Chorus]
C G
There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy,
D G D G
and her sister's Granny and four of her chums, and Auntie Lee.
[Verse]
G D G
Well, I always drive as though my foot was restin' on the brake,
G D
I weave aboot the road just so's ye cannae overtake.
G D
I can get ye sae frustrated that ye'll finish up in tears,
G D G
and the sound of blarin' motor horns is music to my ears !
[Chorus]
C G
There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy,
D G D G
and her sister's Granny and four of her chums, and Auntie Liz.
[Verse]
G D G
Now, if ye wonder how these weekly trips I can afford,
G D
it's because I'm on a stipend from the Scottish Tourist Board.
G D
You're supposed tae enjoy the scenery, the finest of it's kind,
G D G
and that is why I have a convoy followin' behind !
[Chorus]
C G
There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy,
D G D G
and her sister's Granny and four of her chums, and Auntie Rose.
[Verse]
G D G
There's just no way of escaping me, no matter how ye seek,
G D
for the simple fact that I'm a traffic warden through the week.
G D
I'm boostin' my efficiency, and here's my master plan :
G D G
I'm savin' up my pennies just to buy a Caravan.
[Chorus]
C G
There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy,
D G D G
and her sister's Granny and four of her chums, and Auntie Gertrude.
C G
There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy,
D G D G
and her sister's Granny and four of her chums, “Yer gaun too fast”.
