Written by: Visiting teachers of Utopia School
with Matt Hill & Kelly Staines, Music Outback Education

Verse 1
Driving Troopies everywhere,
North, South, East and West.
Toyotas going anywhere,
But to the school is best .

Chorus
Check the diesel, main and sub,
Accelerate, off we go.
Don't forget to lock the hubs,
Push start, don't ask Jo, don't ask Jo!

Verse 2
Pick up kids, half asleep,
Tape goes in, volume high,
Kids wake up on bumpy roads,
Watch those K's fly by.

Chorus
Check the diesel, main and sub,
Accelerate, off we go.
Don't forget to lock the hubs,
Look out there goes Jo, there goes Jo.

Verse 3
Roads cut off, stuck in the mud,
Flat tyre, get the jack,
Oh no! batteries dead,
How will we get back?

Chorus
Check the diesel, main and sub,
Accelerate, off we go.
Don't forget to lock the hubs,
Oh look, here comes Jo, here comes Jo,
here comes Jo, here comes Jo, here comes Jo…..
…..There goes Jo
