Carryin' the coffin for cancer research

Gypsy and me, won't leave them in the lurch

Cross my palm with silver and I'll tell your fortune true

We must kill and bury Cancer before it gets us too!


So sick o' bein' sorry

Sick o' feelin sad

Gunna drop the drongo

That dropped my old dad


Yeah it's a mongrel

A rotten yeller curse

Gunna erase it

'Cos I'm a cancer nurse!


But nursing didn't cut it

When I couldn't save my own

The little I could do

Just chilled me to the bone


When faith is lost a line is crossed

One has to make a choice

To cower in defeat

Or rise and find a voice!


No pussy footing pilgrim

Begging at death's door

We need MONEY for research!

To get it we must ROAR


So I got me a chariot

Some call it a hearse!

I called her Gypsy-Belle

For better or for worse...


She's shiny and purple

While I am bruised and blue

But I'll tame the flamin' Gypsy

To raise a quid or two!


Now Gypsy is a V star

Six fifty c.c.

I found her at Yamaha

And she was meant for me


Three decades of failin'

To save the human race

I found my Ulysses

My Gypsy and DISGRACE!


First I fell off her left side

Then I dropped her on the right

Broken elbow and panniers

Until I saw the light...


Five foot two and fifty eight

The odds were quite unfair

But I tamed roarin' Gypsy

Now I tow me own wheeled chair!


You may call it a coffin

Call my Gypsy Belle a hearse

But if we bury cancer

THEN I'll call myself a nurse!


With the trikers and the bikers

Who ride for charity

I'll ride for cancer research

RISE UP! And ride with me.

M.C.B.
