about

When our children were little, I did a car boot sale to raise some extra cash. Louse decided to bring the children along to see daddy "in his shop".

The children saw their toys and (eventually) realised what was going on. I ended up selling some of their toys back to them... obviously I gave them a good discount.

lyrics

Car Boot Song

by Bill Bates

Yesterday my children had lots of toys to play
now those toys have all gone away car
I car booted them yesterday
Suddenly, I’ve got loads money
I got 3 pounds daughters bunny she didn’t funny

Why it had to go well you know
The bills we could’nt pay
She said, don't sell dad you'll make sad yesterday

My wife’s best dress, I always thought looked mess
Someone offered me £5 and I said yes
Where now is anyone’s guess! (back)


I sold a 3 poster bed – a machine for making bread
A Barbie Doll without head –
My pet hamster who was dead

We sold all our trash turned it into cash
we were doin’ OK
We made – loads of loot at our car boot - Yesterday

Oh help me mate -
I sold my wife's thing that did vibrate
The women who brought it was in such state
She rushed home couldn’t wait

I sold loads of JUNK/ Our family game of Kerplunk
Some clothes I wore when I was a punk
Some old socks that really stunk

Why it ALL - had to go, well you know
What can you say?
We - had - to clear our debt
I WAS SO UPSET!!!! yesterday

What have done? I’ve gone and sold my only son
But recon I’ve been done
I could have got £2 and I only got one

Why he had to go, well know, wouldn't play.
He said don't sell me dad wasn't bad - yesterday

Yesterday - I did car boot supplement pay sold wife kids walked away
I car booted them yesterday.

about

Bill Bates Royal Leamington Spa, UK

I am a Warwickshire based singer songwriter and I perform my songs in folk clubs and festivals. My songs are (almost) autobiographical and often about the ordinary things in life, such as caravan holidays, recycling and a song about a Mars Bar party (where people are supposed to have took their clothes off!) Some of my songs are funny, other songs are serious; either way I hope you like them! ... more
