Big Johnston
Country upbeatLyrics
[INTRO]
Oh Davie Johnston, the offshore man,
Always working hard but he just can't stand,
A little mishap here, a blunder there,
With every twist and turn, he still has a thing to learn.
[VERSE 1]
Step on the platform, it’s a brand new day,
He’s got his boots on but he’s lost his way,
Measuring twice but he cuts it wrong,
Funny how a mistake can feel so wrong.
[CHORUS]
Oh Davie, Davie, the blunder king,
Every little job, a mess you bring,
Misplaced tools and lost the plot,
You keep on working but at what cost?
[VERSE 2]
He’s got the plans sprawled out on the ground,
But all he can think is where’s that wrench he found?
Climbing up high but he’s forgot his harness,
We’re dodging the chaos as he flys on by.
[CHORUS]
Oh Davie, Davie, the blunder king,
Every little job, a mess you bring,
Misplaced tools and lost the plot,
You keep on working but at what cost?
[BRIDGE]
Now the boss is shouting, “Just take your time!”
But Davie’s in a hurry, up that ladder he’ll climb,
With every misstep, he keeps the crew on edge,
A heart of gold but he’s teetering on the ledge.
[VERSE 3]
He grabbed the wrong line, now the block is stuck,
Kicking at the pipe, he’s running out of luck,
Just like a circus, it’s a topsy-turvy show,
But with a laugh and a grin, he’s got nowhere to go.
[CHORUS]
Oh Davie, Davie, the blunder king,
Every little job, a mess you bring,
Misplaced tools and lost the plot,
You keep on working but at what cost?
[OUTRO]
So here’s to you, Davie, our clumsy friend,
With every misadventure, you're a means to an end,
Laughter on the waves, we’ll ride this tide,
Oh Davie Johnston, our blunder king with pride.
