We're gonna ride in Jimmy's van
Up and down across this land
We're gonna follow him wherever he may take us

We have a hundred things to pack
And crazy Michael in the back
Is telling tales about how famous he will make us


Off we go
Down the cobbled road

Six big smiles
Across the emerald isle
And sleep is not an issue

We're here to plug our band
We're gonna ride in Jimmy's van


We're gonna ride in Jimmy's van
We're gonna do the best we can
And play our songs each night , who cares if they will pay us

I'm sleeping in a dirty bed
And I'm a hundred miles from cred
Still I'm as happy as I think I'll ever be


Off we go
Down the cobbled road

Six big smiles
Across the emerald isle
And money's not an issue

We're here to plug our band
We're gonna ride in Jimmy's van


I will remember everything
How David bought his Celtic ring
And someone asked us for our autographs in Galway

And how we watched the seagulls fly
That magic day on Arran isles
When Michael swam and we drank vodka on the beach


Off we go
Down the cobbled road

Six big smiles
Across the emerald isle


And all that I can think of
All that comes to mind
Is that I hope we'll never be too old

Too fed up or too tired
Too famous or too greedy
Too rich to give a dam

Too stuck up and pretentious
Too settled and well planned
To take a ride, take a ride

Let's take a ride in Jimmy's van
