Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well I’ve been a Sunday driver now for many’s a happy year
\nAnd I’ve never had my Morris-Miner in route to second gear
\nI can drive at 15 miles an hour on motor way or track
\nWith my wife up front beside me and her mother in the back
\nThere was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
\nAnd her sister’s granny and four of her chums and Auntie Jean<\/p>\n

In a crowd of fifty trippers you can always pick me out
\nFor my “Don’t blame me, I voted Tories” sticker on the boot
\nWith my bunch of heather stickin’ in my radiator grill
\nAnd my stick on transfer bullet holes and license for to kill
\nThere was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
\nAnd her sister’s granny and four of her chums and Auntie Peg<\/p>\n

I’ve a hundred plastic pennants for to tell you where I’ve been
\nAnd my steering wheel is clad in simulated leopard skin
\nUp front from the rear view mirror hangs a plastic skeleton
\nAnd in the back a dog with eyes that flicker off and on
\nThere was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
\nAnd her sister’s granny and four of her chums and Auntie Mae<\/p>\n

Now if you wonder how these weekly trips I can afford
\nIt’s because I’m on a stipend from the Scottish Tourist Board
\nYou’re supposed to enjoy the scenery the finest of it’s kind
\nAnd that is why you have convoy following behind
\nThere was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
\nAnd her sister’s granny and four of her chums and Auntie Rose<\/p>\n

Always drive as though my foot was resting on the brake
\nAnd I weave about the road just so you canna over take
\nI can get you so frustrated that you’ll finish up in tears
\nAnd the sound of blaring motor horns is music to my ears
\nThere was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
\nAnd her sister’s granny and four of her chums and Auntie Gertrude
\nThere was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
\nAnd her sister’s granny and four of her chums\u2014You’re driving too fast!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
