Subject: RE: Folklore: Songs about the British Motor Industry
Some years ago, when I was living in the Middle East, I bought a battered ten-year-old Range Rover. I had so much trouble with the bloody thing I ended up writing this (to the tune of Wild Rover):
I've had a Range Rover for many's the year And I've spent all my money on sprockets and gears But now I'm returning with rials galore I never will drive that Range Rover no more
And it's no, nay, never No nay never no more Will I drive that Range Rover No never no more
I went to a garage I used to frequent And I told the mechanic my camshaft was bent I aske him to fix it, he answered me "Nay" Saying "If I were you, I'd just chuck it away".
Chorus
Then out of my pocket I pulled rials bright And the mechanic's eyes opened wide with delight Saying "That'll do nicely, I'll see what I can do, and then it might last you a fortnight or two".
Chorus
I'll go back to the garage, confess what I've done, I drove to Herne Bay on two wheels just for fun, And if they repair it as oft times before. Then I might have to drive that bloody Range Rover once more
