The Rodney Rocket

(album: Roll And Go - 2022)

Well my name is Ray from Rodney
And sure I'm here to tell ye
The day we had a ring a ding ding
The day I got my pilot wings
LCBO, drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now

Well I took a swig of liquor
I was feeling kinda dickered
The boys they gave me courage
So I took off with a flourish
And it's LCBO, drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now

To hear the buggers tell it
Sure I nearly lost my helmet
The speed were something savage
But I kept er out of the cabbage
And it's LCBO, drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now

With my vision getting shifty
I spilled me quart of 50
I hit the accelerator
Saying arr I'll lick 'er up later
And it's LCBO, drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now

With another little tipple
Sure I was getting gibbled
The wind began to whistle
As I took off like a missile
And it's LCBO, drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now

So drop the flag and clock it
I am the Rodney Rocket
I've never had such fun as I
Had roaring up into the sky
LCBO, drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now

But nothing lasts forever
And friends are friends no more
That old redneck armchair
Lies dickered on the floor
The doctor says I gotta quit
The cans and quarts of beer
And so the journey forward
Is evidently clear

But when the nights are cold and dark
And the hours roll away
I think of all the good times
We had that winter's day
So carve it on the marble, boys
When I am in the ground
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!

So if ya wanna see me
Just come on down to Rodney
We'll have a grand old hullaballoo
And when it's done I'll take ya to the
LCBO, drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now
