Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh
Chorus
I was driving along in me little Volkswagen.
The wives tongue, wouldn’t stop waging.
I wasn’t going hard nor I wasn’t going easy.
Ya know now the wife, she was driving me crazy.
When I got a few pints the night before.
And me head now ya know it was awful sore.
Didn’t know a word that the wife she was saying.
‘Cos my head it was lifting with the pain.
Chorus
I was driving along in me little Volkswagen.
The wives tongue, wouldn’t stop waging.
I wasn’t going hard nor I wasn’t going easy.
Ya know now the wife, she was driving me crazy.
I was going to the town for ta get the auld cure.
Couldn’t wait for ta see the auld pub door.
When the little Volkswagen got stuck in gear.
The first time she broke down in thirty year.
Chorus
I was driving along in me little Volkswagen.
The wives tongue, wouldn’t stop waging.
I wasn’t going hard nor I wasn’t going easy.
Ye know now the wife, she was driving me crazy.
The mechanics hammer went tip -a-de-tap.
Then the Volkswagen engine went rap-ed–rap.
Oh the wives big mouth, it went yap-ed-yap.
Such a pain in me head, I took off me cap.
Chorus
I was driving along in me little Volkswagen.
The wives tongue, wouldn’t stop waging.
I wasn’t going hard nor I wasn’t going easy.
Ye know now the wife, she was driving me crazy.
Got the Volkswagen fixed and got to the town.
Got the auld cure and let it down.
The wife said now we better be going.
But I drank a lot more and got a taxi home.
Chorus
I was driving along in me little Volkswagen.
The wives tongue, wouldn’t stop waging.
I wasn’t going hard nor I wasn’t going easy.
Ye know now the wife, she was driving me crazy.
And ye wouldn’t believe lads, her name it was massy!.
