JCB song

[click for website]

This is courtesy of my best friend who loves me so much as to share with me this delightful song and its equally delightful website. It's written by a dyslexic guy who used to get bullied alot in school and about his dad who would rescue him from school some days and take him in his JCB, a mobile crane (apparently there're loads of them in the UK.) It's a tremendously sweet and moving song about boyhood, imagination, and a father's love. The website is superbly designed- enjoy the illustrations and you can even doodle with a virtual pencil and save your drawing.

Have fun, and don't cry too hard!


Well, I'm rumblin' in this JCB.
I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant sitting beside me.
And the engine rattles my bum like berserk
While we're singin, 'Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work!'

My dad's probably had a bloody hard day
But he's been good fun and bubblin and jokin' away
And the procession of cars stuck behind
are gettin all impatient and angry, but we dont mind.

An' we're holdin up the bypass, oh...
Me and my dad havin a top laugh, oh-woah...

I'm sittin on the toolbox, oh...
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school

Oh no...

And we pull over to let cars past
And pull off again, speedin by the summer green grass
And we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger
Like zoids, or transformers, or maybe even bigger

And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets
And I'll tell all my mates that my dad's B.A. Baracus
Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nunchuckas

And We're holdin up the bypass, Oh...
Me and my dad havin a top laugh, Oh weh oh

I'm sittin on the toolbox, Oh...
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school

And we're holdin up the bypass, Oh...
Me and my dad havin a top laugh, Oh-Weh-Oh
I'm sittin on the toolbox, Oh...

And I'm so glad I'm not in school, Boss
So glad I'm not in school

Said I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round

And we're holdin' up the bypass, Weh-Oh

Me and my dad havin a top laugh, Oh...
And I'm sittin on the toolbox, oh-oh...

And I'm so glad I'm not in school, Boss
So glad I'm not in school

I said

I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his
Aw, I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
