Analysis of David Has A Truck
David has got a truck, Oxidation
is its name, its claim to fame is it's blue -
just like you! Fur coated, it's a bit red,
but it's not dead, oh no! It runs like cream,
well it would, but it has got a headache.
David's no fool for he is Coolie-man,
he's hammered a few heads with alcohol,
but always smiles when you go home to bed,
'cos he will paint the town a nice colour,
green, or yellow, or maybe even black:
As black as exploded ink in 'Get off
my damned property!' But then he will grin,
it will be as thick as sin, did I say
that David has a truck? A rubber duck
too is in his possession, it's 'ellow.
