The rest of the road crew laugh at me
They lug out, then drink until three
I try to be brave and not care what they think
I'm getting paid to carry the soft drink
It don't bother me, I'm a toady, I'm John Farnham's Coke roadie
My life's devoid of meaningful choice
But so what? I'm with The Voice
I don't tune guitars, or arrange the hookers
I just hang round for when John needs his sugar
It don't bother me, I'm a toady, I'm John Farnham's Coke roadie
I dream of giving groupies a fondle
As I screw the cap off another bottle
The other guys think I'm a joke
But if we didn't have sponsors, we'd be broke
It don't bother me, I'm a toady, I'm John Farnham's Coke roadie
We tour for months at a time
How does he do it, night after night?
John's very popular cos he's not a drug fiend
He gives good rock - he's powered by caffeine
It don't bother me, I'm a toady, I'm John Farnham's Coke roadie
