One wheel on my wagon
So I’m not rolling along
I know you’ll scoff –
Cos one fell off
The holiday
was then passé
Gert’s not singing a happy song.
One wheel on my wagon
You’re better off if there’s two
And though absolved
no-one’s involved
And me and Gert
are both unhurt
But the tailback has formed quite a queue.
(They were singing-)
Why was he born so beautiful
Why was he born at all
He’s no chuffing use to anyone
He’s no chuffing use at all.
One wheel on my wagon
Tell Cornwall we won’t arrive
The place that we
got in this fix
Is Coventry’s
A46
So we never quite made St Ives.
One wheel on my wagon
Bloody Hell! Here’s the police
If they’d a mind
to be unkind
I reckon they’ll
send me to jail
I’ll be 80 before my release!
One wheel on my wagon
So I’m not rolling along
I know you’ll scoff –
the wheel came off
The holiday
was then passé
Gert’s not singing a happy song

Forgive me if I feel like singing..."Hey Mr Caravan Man - shift that b....y load! And let God's Rail Road and not the Highway Code guide you to the promised land..." (Cornwall, of course!)(with apologies to The Byrds). Hard luck JC. Not the sort of holiday experience anyone wants. I once nearly lost the rear o/s wheel of my old Austin Healey near Reading one Christmas...managing to stop in time, thank goodness, as the wobble reached eye-blinking levels "out of true".
I arrived for Xmas lunch at my sister's place in a
breakdown wagon!!
