  • Well, I'm rumblin' in this JCB.
    I'm 5 years old and my dad's 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 totally 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

    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 the cars pass
    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 em I'm 8, my dad's ba barakas
    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 woah

    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 oh

    Me and my dad havin a top laugh
    oh woah

    I'm sittin on the toolbox
    oh oh

    And I'm so glad I'm not in schoolbox
    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
    woah

    Me and my dad havin a top laugh
    oh woah

    And I'm sittin on the toolbox
    oh

    And I'm so glad I'm not in schoolbox
    So glad I'm not in school

    Aw, 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. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
