I'm gonna ride in the van, like a vagabond man. I'm gonna ride in the van, I'm gonna ride in the van. Oh, what a lucky man, I get to ride in the van. I'm gonna ride in the van, I'm gonna ride in the van. I'm gonna drink a warm beer. I'm gonna drink a warm beer. Warm beer. I'm gonna drink a warm beer. I hope they'll know I'm being sincere when I say thank you for my warm beer. I hope they'll know I'm being sincere when I say thank you very much for my warm beer. Well, I'm gonna walk down the street. I'm gonna walk down the street. I'm tired of the smell of feet. I'm gonna walk down the street. Oh, what a wonderful treat. I get to walk down the street. I said, oh, what a wonderful treat. I get to walk down the street.
