Yes, good to see the lyrics posted, Jim. I had to make a few minor changes to suit American sensibilities.

"scoring with a ckick in a disco bar" was a no-no, I had to change it to "hitting on a chick....". "A pint of mild" got changed to "A Shirley Temple". "Engine is clapped" became "Engine is shot".

They seem to enjoy the song here. We did it at the South Florida Folk Festival last weekend and it went down well.
