Well, I'm rumbling in this JCB
I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant, sitting beside me
And engine rattles my bum like berserk
While we're singing
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work

And my dad's probably had a bloody hard day
But he's been good fun and bubbling and joking away
And the procession of cars stuck behind
Are getting all impatient and angry but we don't mind

And we're holding up the bypass
Me and my dad having a top laugh
Sitting on the tool box
And I'm so glad I'm not in school bus
So glad I'm not in school, oh no

And we pull over to let cars pass
And pull off again speeding by this summer green grass
And we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger
Like Zoids or Transformers or maybe even bigger

And I wanna transform into a tyrannosaurus rex
And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets
And I'll tell all my mates, my dad's "B.A." Baracus
Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nunchuckers

And we're holding up the bypass
Me and my dad having a top laugh
Sitting on the tool box
And I'm so glad I'm not in school bus
So glad I'm not in school

And we're holding up the bypass
Me and my dad having a top laugh
I'm sitting on the tool box
And I'm so glad I'm not in school bus
So glad I'm not in school

Said, I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around in his JCB
I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around in his JCB

I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around in his JCB
I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around

And we're holding up the bypass
Me and my dad having a top laugh
And I'm sitting on the toolbox
And I'm so glad I'm not in school bus
So glad I'm not in school

All I said, I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around in his JCB
I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around in his

I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around in his JCB
I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee
Drives me around in his JCB

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
