[Intro]

Good morning drivers

Drivel news on this glorious day

Today's on the sketchy junction, just off the M3592

Should cause one matter of a dreadlock this mor— (Uh, gridlock)

Sorry, gridlock

So, switch off your engine, relax, and enjoy


[Verse 1]

It was half past eight, we were running late

'Cause my daddy was behind the wheel

We were in the back with our brekkie snacks

When we all heard this deadly squeal

So up our rear came this Karmann Ghia

Seemed he hadn't clocked that we weren't moving

You see, this traffic jam meant the road was rammed

We were static when we should've been grooving


[Chorus]

Gridlock on the motorway (We're all in a flipping jam)

Gridlock, you can't walk away (A well-bad skidmark slam)

Just sit still, you've got to stay (We're never gonna get to school)

Another day off school

Another day off, but that's cool


[Post-Chorus]

Foot down, skid

Splat, ooh, kitty

You're sittin' in a jam and it just ain't pretty

It's a gridlock, and it's f***ing hot


[Verse 2]

Well I looked out the back at that smoking stack

Boy, that car had really hit us a goodun

And my little lunch box gone bust its locks

And my sister was wearing rice pudding (Eugh)

Well, I won't forget the look in that driver's eyes

He was fuming red, looking pretty sore

He straightened up his neck and climbed out the wreck

And made a beeline for my daddy's door

Well, old dad just hung there waiting for it

All cool, and sitting on the fender

And we all took stock at the growing gridlock

And that's all I remember

But, there were feet and fists in the growing mist

Heh, some of them were even biting

And I think I saw my dad getting thunked real bad

Then I lost him in the haze of fighting

I say, things are getting mighty chokey

The fuel is running out of me old puffer

I can't seem to breathe too good, I gotta get out


[Chorus]

Gridlock on the motorway (It's a gridlock on the motorway)

Gridlock, you can't walk away (You're going nowhere!)

Just sit still, you've got to stay (You gotta stay— stay— you, stay, stay)

Another day off school (Gimme your keys)


[Verse 3]

Now I've been told, soon, it won't be cold

I can't wait, I'm gonna buy a ton of lotion

Put on me swimming duds and then come the floods

I'll build a ship and be the ruler of the ocean (No you won't)

(King of the world)

So I was late for class, and sir kicked my arse

I guess we should've heard the [?] in their warning

Who gives a toss? I love this crazy chaos

Just another blooming school day morning


[Chorus]

Gridlock on the motorway

Gridlock, you can't walk away

Just sit still, you've got to stay

Another day off school

Gridlock on the motorway

Gridlock, you can't walk away

Just sit still, you've got to stay

Another day off school


[Outro]

Smack, stack

Skid, crack

Coming down, look he's back

[?] up the motors [?] cutting up a bunny wagon

[?] frog, cutting up a groovy stunt

Chock a block of gridlock, chewing on a rusty sock

Wham bam, I'm in a jam

Broken down and driving mad

[?] caution, truckers [?] caution

Woah, hey-hey-hey-hey

Gridlock

What was all that swearing?

I was not swearing

I heard every single word

Don't you start

They're not swear words

Ow

Oi, heheheh

How many times-

Oh, shut it
