lyrics

Those hippies were crazy
But they sure knew what to drive
Got myself a Volkswagen camper van
From 1965
Going to drive over the A65
Green on the outside
Purple on the inside
Spend the night by the lakeside
In my camper van

I sing this song for Amanda and Kevin
They drove their camper van up onto Otley Chevin
Just to spend the night a little closer to heaven
And it was cold on the outside
Hot on the inside
Take a walk on the wild side
In my camper van

It must be some kind of midlife crisis
But half my friends drive around in mobile paradises
Onboard showers and a comfortable mattress
No more steamy nights under leaky canvass

We drive these roads without a care
Eating our Asda apples and our Tesco pears
And voting for Boris, or Cameron or Blair
Because they’re shiny on the outside
Rotten on the inside
Drive them all of the cliff side
In my camper van
