lyrics

33 Kms to Whangarei.


Hey, Mr. Stop-Go Man, why are you stopping me from going?
I've gotta get gone, got to get gone to my baby.
She lives on a farm, a half a mile from Kamo
She's got the sweetest arms a boy in love could want.

When she was young she won a beauty contest
But now there's no contesting that the real winner is me.

It's 33 ks to Whangarei
Just 33 ks to Whangarei
So road work man get out of my way
I've gotta get through to my baby.

I've been driving all day trying to make my way back to her
Got a ticket and a puncture passing through Rotorua.
And now I'm almost there, I can nearly hear her saying:
"Hey there lover, how long will you be staying?"

And I've got plans, to pack up my bags and join her
And I intend to ask for her hand in the future.

It's 33 ks to Whangarei
Just 33 ks to Whangarei
So road work man get out of my way
I've gotta get through to my baby.

Life's a highway
and I'm behind a
stock truck.
It's the worst kind of luck.

So hey, Mr Stop-Go Man why are you stopping me from going?
I've gotta get gone, got to get gone to my baby.
She lives on a farm, a half a mile from Kamo
She's got the sweetest arms a boy in love could want.

It's 33 ks to Whangarei
Just 33 ks to Whangarei
I'm almost there, I can't be late
So come on man, get out of my way...
