Met a man just the other day
said his name was Jim
Boy, won't you take a look
Got a car for you
it's a real steal
Cleaned it right down
new brakes clutch
and here's the hook
Yes, it's a 4.W.D
4.W.D 4.W.D 4.W.D
Cash to Jim. I took it home
through the deep mud
Plugged happy as a boy in sand
Fitted wide tyres, spotlight
a winch as well
and some brush bars up
front to complete the plan
Now it's really a 4.W.D
4.W.D 4.W.D 4.W.D
4.W.D 4.W.D 4.W.D
<Interlude>
Take you down
to the edge of town
Where the road stops
we start to hold the ground
Well, I'm blessed
Got traction in a special way
Hold the roll bar, slide back
feel me pull it round
Let me show you my 4.W.D
4.W.D 4.W.D 4.W.D 4.W.D
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars
<Intelrude>
So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
