Notes: This was knocked up in about 10 minutes, which probably explains something. If anyone has a copy of the definitive WRG version of “Oh, Lord…” which apparently has already been written, would they please forward it to Bungle!

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a new Transit van
My friends all drive Sprinters
I must make amends
I dig hard all day, Lord
it just never ends
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a new Transit van?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a new JCB?
I just can’t go further
with a KL15
I dig hard all day, Lord
and I’m stuck in a trench
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a new JCB?

And Lord, won’t you buy me some sodium lights?
They’ll be wired up by Bungle
They’re sure to burn bright
I dig hard all night, Lord
so show me the light
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me some sodium lights?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a new minibus?
For those new-shape Transits
I’ve just got the lust
It’s a matter of days, Lord
‘til NJF busts
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a new minibus?

And Lord, won’t you buy me a new Transit van?
My friends all drive Sprinters
I must make amends
I dig hard all day Lord
it just never ends
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a new Transit van?
