Roll Along, Roll Along

This is a mostly true story that happened to me early in June. The poor doctor got his tire back but still doesn’t know that there is a song made about it.

Roll Along, Roll Along

Doctor G*** Mac**** lost his tire as he drove Which left the poor physician in the ditch beside the road He had all the bells and whistles on his shiny SUV But he counted all his tires he could only count to three

Roll along, roll along, dear doctor roll along Roll along dear doctor roll along

He calculated angles and the tires velocity Then marked an X upon the spot he thought the tire would be He marched into the lupins and he stood there on the spot But he did not find his tire for a tire there was not

Chorus

He stood there in the lupins with a frown upon his brow And thought he’d use deductive powers to track the tire down He is highly educated and he has a brilliant mind But he searched more than an hour and the tire he could not find

Chorus

In the field of medical science he’s a master in his class With a sterling reputation and a wealth of knowledge vast He knows all the methodology to keep a man alive But he could not find his tire so he isn’t fit to drive

Chorus

I saw the man dejected as I stopped along the way And rolling down the window I could here the doctor say I cannot find my tire so your service is required For I will not be back to work until I am retired

Chorus

I wandered through the lupins til I came upon a track Which I followed through the field until I stumbled out the back Then through forty feet of alders and a fence of rusty wire I came into a clearing and I found the doctor’s tire

Chorus

I wheeled the tire back to him the doctor staked his claim Compared it to the others and the tire was the same He opened up his wallet then to pay a finder’s fee But says I to make a song will be reward enough for me

Chorus

There’s something I must clarify before he gets the blame It wasn’t faulty driving that would tarnish his good name He is not a speedy driver so I offer this excuse The incident occurred because the doctor’s nuts were loose

Chorus
