Val Doonican - I'm Gonna Get There Somehow

I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm ringing up to say,
That I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm leaving right away,

I could be there in a minute,
If I had an aeroplane,
There'd be just nothing in it,
If I hadn't missed the train,
I asked a bus conductor,
He said go which way you like,
There's a 13, 14, 15B but they've all come out on strike,

But I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm ringing up to say,
That I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm leaving right away,

I could hop into a taxi,
But I haven't got the fare,
If I hitchhike on a lorry
But it mightn't go past there,
Would you send my jalopy,
It's no good using that,
I could pedal on my pushbike,
But the tyres are too darned flat,

But I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm ringing up to say,
That I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm leaving right away,

I could jump on my toboggan,
But there isn't any snow,
And when I try my roller skates,
The doggone wheels won't go,
I suppose I could start walking,
But my shoes are worn right through,
My socks are full of great big holes,
What the heck am I gonna do,

But I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm ringing up to say,
That I'm gonna get there somehow,
I'm leaving right away,

Yes I'm gonna get there somehow,
If I crawl round on my knees,
If I don't get there tomorrow,
Come looking for me please .
