Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh
(Richie) “Johnny were ya good at the riddles going to school”
(Johnny) “I was’ent too bad lad” (Richie) “Right listen to this…”
What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touches no part of the road at all?
What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touches no part of the road at all?
(Johnny) I think I know now what it is, I know the answer of your quiz.
Sure that auld thing is as auld as sin, I think its an egg inside of a hen.
(Richie) “No Johnny, no your wrong. Listen, listen to the auld song Johnny, listen.”
(Richie) What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touches no part of the road at all?
What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An never touches no part of the road at all?
(Johnny) I think this time I am in luck, I think its a egg inside of a duck.
Me Granny taught me all them rhymes, years ago in the good auld times.
(Richie) “No Johnny, your wrong again. Listen to it again, we’ll give ya another chance, listen Lad.”
(Richie) What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touches no part of the road at all?
What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road<
An’ never touches no part of the road at all?
(Johnny) “Its quar hard lad, sing it again”
(Richie) What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touches no part of the road at all?
What goes up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touches no part of the road at all?
(Richie) I think I’ll have to give ya a clue. With a job like this, yad have little ta do.
Just move around now and again….
(Johnny) Be jabores I think its the council men.
(Richie) Well done Johnny, yer a good one.
(Richie) They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
(Richie) They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
(Richie) They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
(Richie) Up the road and down the road over the road and back the road.
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road,
An’ never touch no part of the road at all.
