Lyrics

We had a good gig in Derby
Partying all nite
With Avega boyz
The trip there took forever
Going Via Manchester

And we just kept on laughing
At these places we were passing
Bromsgrove, check
Wolverhampton, check
Cannock, check
Dunston, check

At the spooky guest house
Spikey Wayne
Greeted us with a frown
Took me to the attic
Told me where to stick it
Then drove us into town

And the all the bars were Buzzing
Men were hot drink was cool and sun was out
Pauline kept laughing
It was all her fault
Without a doubt

The boyz there gave a good show
Making us feel like global superstars
The stage and floor were rocking
when Leela and Avega
showed us how it's done

and we just kept on laughing
at these places we were passing
Hanchurch, check
Butterton check
Audley, check and
Warrington check

It was one crazy night out
A wild goose chase across the land
But it was all so worth it
Derby looks just great
From where I stand

And we just kept on laughing
At these places we were passing
Knutsworth, check
Knot Inn, check
