Engine wouldn't start on a rainy day Car stuck still in the middle of the way Along came a stranger with a big wide grin Said get behind the wheel and I'll push you in Push, push, stranger friend Push, push, to the bend Push, push, hey hey hey Thank you, stranger, on this rainy day More folks came out from the corner shop Baker, barber, and the bus-stop crowd All together giving it a shove Spluttering engine, now we're off, my love Push, push, stranger friend Push, push, to the bend Push, push, hey hey hey Thank you, stranger, on this rainy day Brrm brrm, she's alive Horns go up, we survive Wave to all the folks outside Thank you for the ride Push, push, stranger friend Push, push, to the bend Push, push, hey hey hey Thank you, stranger, on this rainy day Hey hey hey Stranger friend
