Thread Name: Lyr Req: Land Rover / Range Rover (parody)
Subject: Lyr Add: LAND ROVER (Wild Rover parody)
I really do own a Land Rover - my second in fact. Many years ago I was forced to sing the dreaded WR in a pub and came up with the following on the spot - having not heard of the above.

I drove a Land Rover for many a year
But just couldn't get the thing out of first gear
I longed to 'off-road' but I couldn't leave town
Cos it wouldn't go uphill it only went down

So I went to a garage I used to frequent
And told the head salesmen I wanted a Bent(ley)
He found me a banger, all rust and decay
Saying customise that + you'll be on your way

I went back to my parents, and parked in the porch
Then set to work with my acetylene torch
I added a tail fin, some wings and a jet
And everyone said that's the best Bentley yet

I drove it to Paris, to Moscow and Rome
And then I got bored, so I drove it back home
Pulled up the brake on that Land Rover's patch
Poured petrol on both, and then tossed in a match
