Bill Oddie – Hovercraft Ride lyrics

See the little children waiting in the morning,
Wonder where they’re going, want to know?
They’re anticipating the journey of a lifetime,
Everybody ready then away let’s go!

On a hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
We’re all goin’ on a hovercraft ride.
A hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
Ev’rybody goin’ on a hovercraft ride.

Better than a tandem or a penny-farthing,
Better than a donkey going clip-clop,
Nicer than a coach trip, smoother than a sleigh ride,
Slicker than the surrey with a fringe on top.

On a hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
We’re all goin’ on a hovercraft ride.
A hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
Ev’rybody goin’ on a hovercraft ride!

All aboard (footsteps sound)
Start her up (whirring noise)
Cast away, all aboard! (watery noise)
There she blows!

Talking to the crowd of a British invention,
Cheaper than a Concorde up above,
Very sentimental, ever so romantic,
Come across the Channel and fall in love!

On a hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
We’re all goin’ on a hovercraft ride.
A hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
Ev’rybody goin’ on a hovercraft ride!

On a hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
We’re all goin’ on a hovercraft ride.
A hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
Ev’rybody goin’ on a hovercraft ride!

On a hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
We’re all goin’ on a hovercraft ride.
A hovercraft ride, a hovercraft ride,
Ev’rybody goin’ on a hovercraft ride!

Chick-a chick-a sssssssssss
(propellors stopping, skirt deflating noise)
