Combine Harvester gave them a 2-week stay in the UK charts in 1976. Turn the clock on 20 years and this EP I want to be an Eddie Stobart Driver was an entry in the lower reaches of the UK Top 100 and helped re-launch The Wurzels career in the late 90s thru to the new millennium. Although it seemed a move away from their agricultural songs Eddie Stobart, in fact, also started out in a farming community years ago. Eddie Stobart is probably older (as a firm and as an individual) than The Wurzels
I want to be an Eddie Stobart Driver does follow the tradition of fun songs that The Wurzels are famous for in the UK. They have also graced the shores of Canada and Australia -who will invite them to the USA? Let us know soon
But firstly (having had many requests for the lyrics and to save you looking them up on the Loose Records site)
HERE ARE THE LYRICS
I want to be an Eddie Stobart Driver
Behind the wheel is where I want to be
O let me be an Eddie Stobart Driver (ooh ahh)
The finest firm in haulage history
Everywhere you go y’know, you can spot the Eddie Spotters
Stobart’s the name they want to see
And all the other trucks and trailers
Are just counted out as failures
And anyway he’s the only man for me
I want to be an Eddie Stobart Driver
Nowadays we all sing Eddie’s praise
O let me be an Eddie Stobart Driver
'Cos Eddie Stobart rules the motorways
I want to hear the children
I want to hear them cheer like they cheer Eddie
When he overtakes us from afar (ooh aah)
With his fan club is expanding
He leaves the others standing
I’d love to be a Stobart superstar
I want to be an Eddie Stobart Driver
Behind the wheel is where I want to be
O let me be an Eddie Stobart Driver
The finest firm in haulage history
Spoken:
(Come on; let’s take it up a cog
Keep on a-truckin)
Now I’ll tell you just how far I'll
Go on up to Carlisle
Tell you what I’ll do when I arrive
I'm gonna walk right up to Eddie
And tell him that I'm ready
So put I on the road now and let I drive
I want to be an Eddie Stobart Driver
That’s exactly what I want to be
And if I can’t be an Eddie Stobart Driver
I’m going home to burn my HGV (2)
