lyrics

Revvin’, I am revvin’
Just so I can beat the traffic, beat the peak
So that I can buy the present that I seek
Because Christmas day is just over a week

Kevin, my mate Kevin
Reckons he can get me mates rates on antique..
Silver that my mum will love, something unique
So that she can try and polish out the streaks

Oh I’m swerving down the mountain
And I’m speeding through the streets
Just so I can make it there on time
And it’s Kevin that I’ll meet

Because if his boss is working
Well we’ll have to be discrete
Or Kevin may just lose his job
And I’ll never get that antique

Our Christmas tree,
Would look bare it’s true
No gift to undo
This is what I must do

So I am revvin’, I am revvin’
Runnin’ reds and turnin’ heads I hear the shriek!
Of my tires as I drive into a creek
I guess the roads weren’t made for my driving technique

The police arrest me
They say “we tried to pursue.
Now some good it will do
If we lock you up a night or two”

(I’m down) to seven, now just seven
Days for me to put something under the tree
And I’m hopeful a new idea comes to me
When we go out together shoppin’
Out together shoppin’
We’ll go out together shoppin’ when I’m released
