There's Never Any Toilets When You Really Need To Go

Miles and miles from Services,
and waiting for a tow.
There's never any toilets when you really need to go!

?Listening to wedding vows,
or going for a hike.
At times you need the toilet when the moment isn't right.

?Your parachute won't open.
You're screaming 'No, no, no!'
(There's never any toilets when you really need to go!)

Stuttering on Dragon's Den,
or in a twitter fight,
(and beating Katie Hopkins), now the timing isn't right!

You meet the local gangster,
who wants the cash you owe.
(There's never any toilets when you really need to go!)

You have to give a sample
at the Doctor's, and you know -
There's far too many toilets when you really cannot go!
