Iron Maiden – Roll Over Vic Vella lyrics

(adaptation of Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven")

Vic:
... Well

Steve:
Oh yeah?

Vic:
Went down ten feet, got a jcb from the road 'cause my other one wouldn't reach. Dug it out... After ten or fifteen minutes he went back to the hole to check the height... Full of water! Must have come from the river, eh?

Steve:
Dunno... Someone must have pissed in it

Vic:
Say well, fucking big piss... Somebody did

Someone:
Something you were doing down the

Vic:
Trying to feed it through the ground, it's like a well. About three feet deep So I.... That's right, fucking John shit himself. There was soil, it's like quicksand.... He went down there to spread the fucking soil, and he's sinking in, isn't he. He suddenly reached for the fucking fork lift and I lifted up he couldn't reach it... He was shitting himself. He was just going by the at the end of the boots. He said "I'm fucking going, I'm going! Just lower the fucking forklift quick!" And he grabbed hold of it, so I had to lift it up with him hanging on the end of it. Good job he didn't let go otherwise right in the fucking mud!

Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local mp
He's a Maltese man and he's mowing the lawn my way
Roll over Vic Vella, give me more bales of hay

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you mow that lawn my way

Early in the morning I'm giving you a warning

Don't you step on my tractor blades
Hey devil he's on the fiddle
And he ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Vic Vella, tell the tax man the bad news

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you tell the tax man the news

You want to buy a truck and need a new vcr

Vic he gonna say he knows where they are
Roll over Vic Vella, I see that panda-car

(Solo: Dave Murray)

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you play those games with me

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you play those games with me

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you play that game with me
