Well the first I saw a TEU
(Rolling up and rolling down)
I wondered where the hell they stored the crew
To go (rolling down the river)
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
Well I used to be a rigger and I worked like hell
But now I'm working for the OCL
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
Well cargo it comes in TEUs
A 20-foot box, boys, filled with booze
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
There's a Tilbury girl called Kettle Jane
She's hot on the boil and off again
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
Well she's got a mate called Teapot Anne
She gets well brewed, she likes her man
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
Well Tilbury girls go 'round in pairs
You won't catch them, boys, unawares
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
Well we're the boys to kick her through
To hell with the channel and the TEU
(Let's go down the river)
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
(Hey!)
Rolling up and rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town
Twenty-four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
