See That My Bike’s Kept Clean

There’s one last favour I ask of you
There’s one last favour I ask of you
There’s one last favour I ask of you
See that my bike’s kept clean

It’s a long old lane and it got no end
It’s a long old lane and it got no end
It’s a long old lane and it got no end
It’s a green light now but it’s gonna change

There’s two white horses in a line
There’s two white horses in a line
There’s two white horses in a line
And two white cars coming up behind

My wheels stopped turning and my hands got cold
My wheels stopped turning and my hands got cold
My wheels stopped turning and my hands got cold
It’s a long old vehicle that runs you down

Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Then you know somebody’s got a cough

You can scrape me off with a silver spade
You can scrape me off with a silver spade
You can scrape me off with a silver spade
You may flush me down the golden drain

Did you ever hear the church bells toll?
Did you ever hear the church bells toll?
Did you ever hear the church bells toll?
Then you know that prick’s still on the road
