I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm ringing up to say
I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm leaving right away

I could be there in a minute
If I had an aeroplane
There'd be just nothing in it
If I hadn't missed the train

I asked the bus conductor
He said go which way you like
There's a 13, 14, 15b
But they've all come out on strike

But I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm ringing up to say
That I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm leaving right away

I could hop into a taxi
But I haven't got the fair
I could hitch-hike on a lorry
But it might not go past there

No juice in my jallopy
It's no use using that
Could pedal on my pushbike
But the tyres are too darn flat

But I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm ringing up to say
That I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm leaving right away

I could jump on my toboggan
But there isn't any snow
And when I try my roller skates
The darn gone things won't go

I suppose I could try walking
But my shoes are worn right through
My socks are full of great big holes
What the heck am I gonna do

But I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm ringing up to say
That I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm leaving right away

Yes I'm gonna get there somehow
I'm gonna crawl round on my kness
If I don't get there tomorrow
Come looking for me please
.....
