(poem) Nursery rhymes for petrol heads 11. This is the way the learner drives (This is the way the Ladies ride)

Robin Ford, 2017

This is the way the Ladies ride 

This is the way the Ladies ride
Trit trot, trit trot, Trit trot, trit trot
Etc

This is the way the Gentlemen ride
Gal-lop, gal-lop, Gal-lop, gal-lop
Etc

This is the way the farmers ride
Hobble-de-hoy, Hobble-de-hoy, Hobble-de-hoy, Hobble-de-hoy

Etc  

This is the way the learner drives

This is the way the learner drives
Select first gear, let up the clutch
This is the way the learner drives
Let up the clutch right now

This is the way the tyro drives
Full pow’r, full brakes, full powr, full brakes
This is the way the tyro drives
Full pow’r, full brakes, full pow’r.

This is the way the famly drives
Hey Mum, Hey Dad, have we arrived?
This is the way the famly drives
Have we arrived yet, Mum?

This is the way the gentleman drives
Please take it easy, leave more room
This is the way the gentleman drives
Please take it easy, now

 This is the way her Ladyship drives
James drive me home. And keep it smooth.
This is the way her Ladyship drives
And mind the corners, James.
