Well, at first I saw a T.E.U
Rollin' up and rollin' down
I wondered where the hell they stored the crew
To go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river
Well, I used to be a rigger, and I worked like hell
Rollin' up and rollin' down
But now I'm workin' for the O.C.L
To go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river
Well, cargo, it comes in T.E.U.s
Rollin' up and rollin' down
A twenty-foot box, boys, filled with booze
To go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river
There's a Tilbury girl called Kettle Jane
Rollin' up and rollin' down
Hot on the boil, then off again
To go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river
Well, she's got a mate called Teapot Anne
Rollin' up and rollin' down
She gets well-brewed, she likes a man
To go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river
Well, Tilbury girls go 'round in pairs
Rollin' up and rollin' down
You won't catch them, boys, unawares
And go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river
Well, we're the boys to kick her through
Rollin' up and rollin' down
To hell with the channel and the T.E.U
Let's go down the river (Hey!)
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river
Rollin' up and rollin' down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rollin' down the river (Hey!)
