... His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
G
Just by Montague street
His friend Eddie he did the respray

So he couldn't drive it all last week
And it cost most of the money That he had saved up

Cause the disguise is a must

She whispers slowly: "it'll be alright"

Wonders at his powers of staying awake

He whispers slowly: "you did just fine"
