My old man said follow the van song lyrics
Song words / chords in the key of D

[D]We had to[A7] move a[D]way, 
'cos the rent we [A7]couldn't pay,
The moving van came [E]round just [E7]after [A]dark;
[A7]There was me and [E7]my old [A]man,
shoving [A7]things inside the [D]van,
Which[E] we'd often [E7]done before let me re[A]mark.               
We packed[A] all that could be [A7]packed 
in the [D]van and that's a [D7]fact;
And we [E7]got inside all we [A7]could get in[D]side         
Then we [E] packed all we could [E7]pack 
on the tail[A]board at the[A7] back,
Till there [Bm]wasn't any [E7]room for me to [A]ride.

Chorus :
[D]My old man said, [E7]Follow the van, 
[A7]don't dilly dally on the [D]way!"
[A]Off went the cart with the [Bm]home packed in it,
I [E]walked behind [E7]with me [A]old [E7]cock linn[A7]et.
But I[D] dillied and [A7]dallied, [D]dallied and [A7]dillied,
[D]Lost the van and don't know [E7]where to [A]roam.
I stopped on the [B]way to [Em]have the old half-quar[A]tern,
And I [D]can't find [A7]my way [D]home.
