Angus, The Sunday Driver goes as follows: THE SUNDAY DRIVER (from the Corries) Well I've been a Sunday driver now for many's a happy year, And I've never had my Morris Minor oot o'second gear, I can drive at fifteen miles an hour on motorway or track, Wi my wife up front beside me and her mother in the back. Chorus: There was me and my daddy and my daddy's mammy, And her sister's granny and four of her chums.... And Auntie Jean. In a crowd of fifty trippers you can always pick me oot, By my "Don't blame me - I voted Tory" sticker on the boot, Wi' my stick-on transfer bullet holes I'm licensed for tae kill. repeat Chorus ....and Auntie Peg. I've a hundred plastic pennants for tae tell you where I've been, And my steering wheel is clad in simulated leapard skin. Upfront, frae the driving mirror hangs a plastic skeleton, And in the back a dog with eyes that flicker off and on. repeat Chorus .....and Auntie May I always drive as though my foot was resting on the brake, And I weave aboot the road just so's ye canny overtake, I can get you so frustrated that you'll finish up in tears, And the sound of blaring motor horns in music tae my ears. repeat Chorus .... and Auntie Liz. Now if you wonder how these weekly trips I can afford, It's because I'm on a stipend from the Scottish Tourist Board. You're supposed to enjoy the scenery, the finest o' its kind, And that is why I have a convoy following behind. repeat Chorus .... and Auntie Rose. There is just no way of escaping me, no matter how you seek, For the simple fact's that I'm a traffic warden through the week. I'm boosting my efficiency and here's my master plan, I'm saving up my pennies for tae buy a caravan repeat Chorus .... and Auntie Gertrude repeat Chorus .... "Ye're goin' too fast!"

Phew!! - You'll find this, and sixty other of their songs in the book of music and lyrics The Corries Complete - but as mine is a very old and dilapidated copy I don't know who publishes it!
