The N.C.T. Test


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

(Richie)….”How is the car going Johnny?”
(Johnny)…. “It’s not going to bad”
(Richie)… “How long have ye her now?”

Me car is over ten years auld,
Years ago sure I should have sailed.
 But I loved me car, it is the best.
Though I know it won’t pass the NCT test.

Oh the exhaust is blown an’ she’s burning oil.
When I start her, she blows smoke for a while.
I need ta give the brakes a pump.
An’ there’s dirty auld oil leaking from the sump.

Chorus

Oh the NCT, I’ll never pass the test.
I love me little car, it is the best.
Me car is over ten years auld.
But I’m not sorry that I never sauld.

 

Oh the wings are rusty an’ the bumper is gone.
I have two lights, a bulb in one. 
Worn wipers, windscreen they scratch.
An’ neither a the tyres on the wheels do match.

Chorus

Oh the NCT, I’ll never pass the test.
I love me little car, it is the best.
Me car is over ten years auld.
But I’m not sorry that I never sauld.

Some times this scrashing noise I hear.
The clutch starts slippin’ going into gear.
Now its very hard ta close the bonnet.
Since the day at the mart, when the cow jumped on it.

Chorus

Oh the NCT, I’ll never pass the test.
I love me little car, it is the best.
Me car is over ten years auld.
But I’m not sorry that I never sold.

On a journey, she still keeps tipping along. 
I know there’s a quare lotta things gone wrong.
But she never broke down in ten year.
I never had a crash, me insurance is clear.

Chorus

Oh the NCT, I’ll never pass the test.
I love me little car, it is the best.
Me car is over ten years auld.
But I’m not sorry that I never sauld.

Chorus

Oh the NCT, I’ll never pass the test.
I love me little car, it is the best.
Me car is over ten years auld.,
But I’m not sorry, that I never sauld.
No, I’m not sorry, that I never sauld.

“She’s a real chicken house lad!!”
“Ya…”
