Oh they say on the Island potato is king
	They load them on freighters, the wharf lines they sing
Ah, but I know another who's kingdom abounds
	They call him "Jack Frostbump", he's always around

Chorus:	
	Singin' "Slow down, boys, beware!"
	Rough pavement, rough pavement slow down and beware
	In springtime the potholes occur everywhere
	That black roller coaster will kill me I swear
		You could scramble and egg
		Count your change in mid air
	On rough pavement, boys beware!

Now they put Jimmy Snowie to work on the road
	To test the hot ashphalt and to count up the load
He'd make a sharp foreman if only he would
	Stop taking the flag girls on tours in the woods!

(Repeat Chorus)

Well there's old Kerry Thompson, he survived the Great War
	In Belgium and Flanders in the infantry corps
But when he takes his Pontiac out in the spring
	He swears he's right back in the trenches again!

(Repeat Chorus)

Now I drove to the mainland the first of the week
	But the roads are so smooth there, they put me to sleep
My wife's not accustomed to such a smooth trip...
	So we pulled the car over and we followed the ditch!
