Our Driver Gestures - Lyrics by Crash Test Dummies


Lyrics
When you start your journey, you go and meet your driver

You shake his hand, and hope he's feeling well

The things to come may be somewhat unfamiliar

Like eating herring where the sun does not go down

Our driver calculates what time we'll hit town


And every time a border comes

We go inside and meet with someone

Perhaps a form will need to be filled in

Then we can go and restart up the engines


Plumbing often varies in the various different countries
I like to crouch down and turn on those bidets
I'll have a cocktail, pick at my fingernails

And then I'll squat down for a wash to end the day

Our driver recommends we try the souffle


And every time a border comes

We go inside and meet with someone

Perhaps a form will need to be filled in

Then we can go and restart up the engines


Then we went down under, and we were told of farmers

Who brought some pigs here from the old country

But pigs eat turtle eggs and turtles eat jellyfish

And now you get stung if you're swimming in the sea

Our driver gestures out behind the palm trees


And every time a border comes

We go inside and meet with someone

Perhaps a form will need to be filled in

Then we can go and restart up the engines
