Half Man Half Biscuit: King of Hi-Vis

King of Hi-Vis

All tickets sold, I head for the wardrobe
St John or ShowSec, which is it to be?
I’ve got a triple-A dangling from my lanyard
Wimbledon and WOMAD, Ryder Cup and V

(I don’t pay) I am the King of Hi-Vis
(Walk on through) Powered by bright waistcoats and bibs

Hard hat, tabard, torch and cocky toolbag
I’m Dave the Spark, or I could be Mike
Paramedics, police, authorised and holy
Be safe, be seen, be anyone you like

(I don’t pay) I am the King of Hi-Vis
(Walk on through) Powered by bright waistcoats and bibs
([???]) Red Cross box, clipboard and chit
([???]) Come be my queen of quick wit

Note from Chris The Siteowner:
I tend to act on lyric corrections usually only when somebody backs up an initial suggestion. If a correction doesn't get a seconder, I usually let it go (unless it's so obviously the right thing to do). However, if you feel strongly that I shouldn't have ignored a suggestion, feel free to re-post your comment and ask for some support!
