This song is an ode to the youtube video “better than evil knievel! it’s ray!”, where a drunk old man named Ray (from Rodney, ON) rides a motorized ‘redneck armchair’ up a ramp onto a large pile of snow.
The Rodney Rocket Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well my name is Ray from Rodney
And sure I'm here to tell you
The day we had a ring-a-ding-ding
The day I got my pilot wings
[Refrain]
L-C-B-O
Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
[Verse 2]
Well I took a swig of liquor
I was feelin' kinda dickered
The boys they gave me courage
So I took off with a flourish
[Refrain]
And it's L-C-B-O
Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now! (Ho-ho-ho-ho)
[Verse 3]
And hear the buggers tell it
Sure I nearly lost my helmet
The speed were something savagе
But I kept her out of the cabbagе
[Refrain]
And it's L-C-B-O
Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
[Verse 4]
With my vision gettin' shifty
I spilled me quart of 50
I hit the accelerator
Sayin' "Arr! I'll lick 'er up later!"
[Refrain]
And it's L-C-B-O
Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now! (Ho-ho-ho-ho)
[Verse 5]
Well another little tipple
Sure I was gettin' gibbled
The wind began to whistle
As I took off like a missile
[Refrain]
And it's L-C-B-O
Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
[Verse 6]
So drop the flag and clock it
I am the Rodney Rocket
I never had such fun as I
Had roarin' up into the sky!
[Refrain]
L-C-B-O
Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
Let's fuckin' rumble!
Oh she [?]
[Bridge]
Ah, but nothin' lasts forever
And friends are friends no more
And oh, the redneck armchair
Lies dickered on the floor
The doctor says I gotta quit
The cans and quarts of beer
And so the journey forward
Is evidently clear
Ah, but when the nights are cold and dark
And the hours roll away
I think of all the good times
We had that winter's day
So carve it on the marble boys
When I am in the ground
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
(They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!)
[Verse 7]
So i' you wanna see me
Just come on down to Rodney
Well I've a grand old hullabaloo
And when it's done I'll take you to the
[Refrain]
L-C-B-O
Drop the hammer down
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
They call me Ray from Rodney
I am the liquor now!
