How do,

Does anybody know the lyrics of 'Barney bought a motor car"(?)

A comic song, using the tune of "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" from Greig's Peer Gynt, it starts off like so:

"Barney bought a motor car, motor car
Barney bought a motor car for driving in the county.
Body work was not too good, not too good, not too good...."

I seem to remember that the song ends when the jalopy crashes, but as it is years since I heard it (I think on the radio and/or at a dodgey festival) I could be wrong.

Thanks!

Jim
