route 66 (the A46)

dusk arising

A46 (to be sung to the tune of route 66)

 

 

Well if you ever plan to motor west
jack take my way its the highway thats the best
get your kicks on the A forty six.

 

Well it winds from Cleethorpes, Grimsby way
Two-hundred and forty-two miles,  ..all the way
yeah get your kicks on the A forty six

 

Well it winds through Market Raisen
straight through Lincoln city
Newark-on-trent looks oh so pretty

 

You'll see East Bridgeford
East Goscote and Leicester too
Stratford down to Evesham through Bidford upon Avon
Hinton, Beckford, Aston Cross

 

Well if you get hip to this kinda trip
and take that Bath City, Ay-von trip
get your kicks on the A forty six

 

Well it winds through Woodchester
Nailsworth and Lasborough
Pensylvania village is oh so pretty

 

you'll have seen Painswick's steeple
met with Stroud people,
Nimlet, Tadwick, Barton End and Tiltup

 

Well if you get hip to this kinda trip
and take that Bath City, Ay-von trip
get your kicks on the A forty six
get your kicks on the A forty six
yes I'll meet you on the A forty six

    How you knowing the A34 SC?

    I get my kicks
    On A forty six
    Day after day
    Night after night
    Roadwork after roadwork
    On the A forty six
    I get my kicks.

    Andy
