Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck Uh, you wanna back off them hogs
10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here By
the time we got into Tulsa-Town We had eighty-five trucks in all But they's a

Pig-Pen, yer still too close Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten Well we rolled up interstate
fourty-four Like a rocket sled on rails We tore up all a our swindle sheets An'
left 'em settin' on the scales By the time we hit that Chi-Town Them bears was a
gittin' smart They'd brought up some reinforcements From the Illinois National
Guard There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps An' rigs of every size Yeah
them chicken coops 'as full a bears An' choppers filled the skies Well we shot
the line, an' we went for broke With a thousand screamin' trucks And eleven
long-haired friends of Jesus In a chartreusse microbus Hey Sod Buster, listen
You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey? Yeah, he's haulin
dynamite He needs all the help he can git Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey
Shore An' prepared to cross the line I could see the bridge 'as lined with
bears But I didn't have a doggone dime I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber
Duck We just ain't a gonna pay no toll So we crashed the gate doin'
ninety-eight I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4 Cause we gotta mighty convoy,
rockin' through the night Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful
sight? Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way We're
gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA Convoy... Convoy... Uh, 10-4

out there fer sure Well mercy sakes alive good buddy We gonna back on outta here
So keep the bugs off yer glass An' the bears off yer... tail We gonna catch ya
on the flip-flop This here's the Rubber Duck on the side We gone Bye, Bye...
