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
