Piper's Popular Amusement Bumper Cars

Piper's Popular Amusement Bumper Cars!
That was the first time I heard Hank Williams from afar.
We'd go there on Saturday night, down Crosser with the boys,
Boat Swings, candy floss, and the stars above our eyes.

Oh, chips on the bus as we sang on our way home,
Past the RCYC into the darkness as we roamed.
Drake's pool full of boats and the regatta under way.
We down on Sunday too just to spend the day!

Merries, we used to call them, when we came down from the Barr's!
Saturday night we'd get a newspaper full of chips.
Take them home upon the bus in hopes of wax upon our lips!

I chanced me arm and got a snaker on Rabbit Island going home,
A slap I got a across the face as my fingers they did roam.
But we're still friend's and time has passed and I think she's forgiven me.
And we'll never forget our first night out on a spree!

We're Hank Williams, he sang to me his music from a far.
Swing boats and roundabouts, a chance to knock down three,
The best nights in Crosser with the Merries for company.

The bear hunters from Blackrock, they always ganged on me.
There I was in the number five of the bumper cars smartly.
And turn around and there they were in numbers like before,
Bang, bang, bang go the bumper cars and Hank Williams voice once more.
