Woke up in the morning, we got a gig tonight   We found our van was stolen, and there began our plight   We said: Oh Oh Oh Oh we gotta get a van   Bobby said he knew someone who knew a man who can      We called up the geezer, he said he had the wheels   Meet me down in Peckham, I’ll give you a good deal   We said: Oh Oh Oh Kay, be there double quick   He has a brand new green one that will get us to our gig      It only had three seats   To Get us to our gig   And then we drew straws   And Bob lost      We’re just a band   Everything is going to plan   And Bob is in the, In the back of the van      We’re flying down the motorway   Racing against the time   The van we bought this morning   Seems to hold up fine      And then, “Oh oh oh shit, I hope we got some bail”   I don’t mean to alarm you but there’s a copper on our tail      His lights they started flashing   We weren’t going to fast   There’s another copper   They’re both up on my ass   We “Misses the lay by”, In which we were to stop   We turned around the corner and we saw another cop      He laid out tire spikes   (we saw another cop)    This was our cue to stop   Or our tires pop      We’re just a band   Everything is going to plan   And Bob’s still in the,   In the back of the van.      Pulled out from behind the wheel   Thrown against the shiny paint   Whats inside your pockets boy?   A zippo and some cigarettes      You know why we stopped you here   This van was stolen late last night   The owners really want it back    Cuz they have a gig somewhere      I pulled my hands up off the van   Green paint came off on both my hands   Underneath a pearly white   Then I realised    I was staring at my van      We laughed then cried then laughed   (…my very own white van)   A curious twist of luck,   And now we’re fucked!      We’re just a band   Everything is going to plan   And Bob’s still in the,   In the back of the van.
