Karaoké King of the Road The Rattling Kind

When you're hoorin' down the road at ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer

With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favor

You're King of the Road

Crack of dawn on a Sunday morn and the convoy's in full flow

Pajero jeeps

Cars and vans and the horse box on the tow

Headin' out to the edge of town

There's a big race goin' down

First nose to pass the two mile mark is crowned the King of the Road

Remember Chip'n'pin and the Indian in the Class A free leg race

When the Chip took the gold on the Mullingar Road well it wasn't the Indian's day

But the Indian has blood to win

He was bred by the big Gang Joyce

For he's sired the foals worth their weight in gold

Takin' home now many a race

When you're hoorin' down the road at ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer

With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favor

You're King of the Road

Now there ain't no flies on the Big Noise

If there are they're payin' the rent

When the Big Noise ran with I'm the Man and the record he did break

Three fifty-seven down the Dualer

Flat out on a two mile stretch

Never be the sore loser

Cough up now and pay your bets

And when you're hoorin' down the road at ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer

With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favor

You're King of the Road

Fourteen spins and fourteen wins from the Streamline

Sapphire mare

With a record broke on the Ringsend Road one mornin' in the Derry air

Now Thomas Clark has left his mark with a fine bred colored cob

And the Loove Hane, Big Noise

Sapphire Crew all part of the Indian's mob

And when you're hoorin' down the road at ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer

With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favor

You're King of the Road

Hoorin' down the road at ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer

With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favor

You're King of the Road
