Moore On Tour


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

“Are ye going ta sing a song Johnny?”
“I made up a little song about Seamus Moore the JCB man.”
“The man with the transit van.”
“That’s right, that’s the truth.”

Chorus
I’m Moore on tour with the big bamboo. 
I came here tonight to entertain you.
With bang bang Rosie an’ the transit van. 
Most people calls me the JCB man.

He lives in Cricklewood in London town.
And himself and the band they play all around. 
England, Ireland, Scotland too.
Ah to sing an auld tune is what he loves ta do

Chorus
I’m Moore on tour with the big bamboo. 
I came here tonight to entertain you.
With bang bang Rosie an’ the transit van.
Most people calls me the JCB man.

Well he comes ta Ireland once or twice a year.
Himself and the van and a load a gear.
Every night he’ll sing every song he’ll know.
Then he’ll load up the van for the next auld show.

Chorus
I’m Moore on tour with the big bamboo. 
I came here tonight to entertain you.
With bang bang Rosie an’ the transit van. 
Most people calls me the JCB man.

“Play the auld kazoo Johnny.”

In the morning up early, he’s off on the go. 
He looks at the map, he’s heading for Mayo.
If ye see him advertised, for a gig near you. 
Come out for the night, for a great randy boo.

Chorus
I’m Moore on tour with the big bamboo. 
I came here tonight to entertain you.
With bang bang Rosie an’ the transit van. 
Most people calls me the JCB man.

Chorus
I’m Moore on tour with the big bamboo. 
I came here tonight to entertain you.
With bang bang Rosie an’ the transit van. 
Most people calls me the JCB man.

Most people call me the JCB man.
“Good man Rich.”
“Thank you.”
