Fast Eddie

Pulling out of London on a summer evening
Heading for the ferry to France
Sliding Billy Watson told Fast Eddie
He'd take this one last chance
One more run, then we won't make any more
Cos you know it's against the law if you get caught

Watson said "I know a man who's sure to help her
He thinks he's with a perfect girl
He's known as Laughing Allie down in Turkey
He's one of the biggest wheels
So hit that engine and let me hear it roar
Cos you know it's against the law if you get caught"

Sliding Billy Watson and Fast Eddie
Gеt through the border, you'd bettеr be ready
If you should fail, you'll end in jail this time

Crossing the border and into Turkey
Thursday evening, dirty and beat
Straight to the bar and there's Laughing Allie
Always in the very same seat
He don't ask questions cos he knows what they came for
But you know it's against the law if you get caught

Drinking Turkish coffee and passing the diagram
Alex smiles all over his face
Pretty soon the three of them get to laughing
And have themselves another taste
While the van gets loaded, they all have a little more
But you know it's against the law if you get caught

Sliding Billy Watson and Fast Eddie
Get through the border, you'd better be ready
If you should fail, you'll end in jail this time

Bright and early the very next morning
Our heroes hit the road
Sliding Billy told Fast Eddie
"We'll make a thousand least this load"
We step up to the border post
And there stands a smiling host
Allie with the police chief
Oh Lord, we've come to grief
Ten years in a prison cell
Sliding Billy says "What the hell?"
You know it's against the law and we got caught
