The Loading Dock Song (A satire.)

Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
Night time come and me wanna go home.

Six ton, seven ton, eight ton truck,
Night time come and me wanna go home.
Boom op' send 'em but we all full up,
Daylight gone an' me wanna go home.

Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
Tummy rumblin' and me wanna go home
Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
Daylight gone why me not goin' home?

Big truck, little truck, double-b,
Spaces be all taken but still they come
Forkies rushing manic-ly all around me,
No room anywhere but still they come.

Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
Rush 'em off the dock 'cos me wanna go home
Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
Get 'em off the dock 'cos me wanna go home.

Who is this person here driving a Tarago?
Night time come and me wanna go home.
Musta bought his licence with a packet of banano
Boom op' send 'em tho' there aint no room.

Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
Truckie come at daybreak, say 15 minute load
Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
He be here four hours, still quarter hour to go.

Day 'n night, rain an' shine, I be here
Move it all in, I wanna go home.
Forks and trucks, trailered cars as far as I see
Move it all out, me wanna go home.

Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
You tell me where you wanna park, me tell you where to go
Day-o, Da-a-ay-o,
Don't care where you wanna be, me wanna be home.

Single park, double park, triple park, more!
No! Boom-op me told you, me no got room.!
Back to front, front to back, up-side down,
Park 'em on their bloody sides, just lemme go home.
