Net cap. of 58 thousand pounds

They sweat on their way down

Grey port with customs bastards

Hang around like clowns the uh

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Bad indigestion

Bad bowel retention

Speed for their wages

Suntan, torn short sleeves

Suntan, torn short sleeves

The uh containers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Look at a car park for two days

Look at a grey port for two days

Train line, stone and grey

Train line, stone and grey uh

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Okay one!

This is not their town

Big cigars come out of the ground

Sweat on their way down

Sweat on their way down

Uh containers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers

F. Jack's a distant relation

Communists are just part time workers

And there's no thanks

From the loading bay ranks

For the uh uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers

The uh containers and their drivers

Uh containers and their drivers

Look at a car park for two days

Look at a grey port for two days

Train line, stone and grey

RO-RO roll on roll off

Uh uh containers and their drivers

Speed for their wages

The container drivers

Uh containers!

And their drivers!
