The Dreadnoughts - The Rodney Rocket

Oh my name is ray from rodney
And sure I'm here to tell ye
The day we had a ring a ding ding
The day I got my pilot wings
LCBO, Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney,
I am the liquor now
I took a swig of liquor
Feeling kinda dickered
The boys they gave me courage
So I took off with a flourish
To hear the buggers tell it
Sure I nearly lost my helmet
The speed were something savage
But I kept er out of the cabbage
With my vision getting shifty
I spilled me quart of 50
I hit the accelerator
Sayin' ARR I'll lick 'er up later
With another little tipple
Sure I was gettin' gibbled
The wind began to whistle
And I took off like a missile
So drop the flag and clock it
I am the rodney Rocket
I've never had such fun as I
Had roaring up into the sky
But nothing lasts forever
And friends are friends no more
That fine old redneck armchair
Lies dickered on the floor
The doctor says I gotta quit
The cans and quarts of beer
And so the journey forward
Is looking pretty clear
But when the nights are cold and dark
And hours roll away
I think of all the good times
We had that winter's day
So carve it on the marble boys
When I am in the ground
They call me ray from Rodney,
I am the liquor now!
So if ya wanna see me
Just come on down to Rodney
We'll have a grand old hullaballoo
And when it's done I'll take ya to the
LCBO, Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney,
I am the liquor now
