me and mr jimmy carter, 1993

I first met Mr Jimmy Carter on a North Sea ferry ship
And pleasantly discovered we were on the same bus trip
For we had two things in common that were very clear
We both loved country music and tasting German beer
And me and Mr Jimmy Carter had some ups and downs
And one or two adventures in various German towns.

From the bikers pub in Rothenberg  
Where they played Johnny Cash
To the crystal factory site
Where I cut a sorry dash

Nearly falling from a chair lift
Causing a to do
So unfortunately
In Jimmy Carter's view

Kidnapped by friendly locals
Who got us taking snuff
Pouring drink down our throats
And other vicious stuff

Mr Jimmy Carter
Dressed all spic and span
Received a humble bow from
The Ambassador of Japan

Almost it seemed before we'd started
We were back on board ship
And coming to the end
Of a very pleasant trip

Drinking duty free two very happy English chaps
Having survived the odd one or two mishaps
'Cos me and Mr. Jimmy Carter had our ups and downs
And one or two adventures in various German towns
