CHORUS) Here we are living in paradise, living in luxury
Oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long
You better have your fun before it moves along
And you're already looking for another fool like me

Not just what you were looking for, but can anyone recall the TT song, I think it was called ;The TT hall of Fame, quite a few years ago i admit, went something like this;
McIntyre, Duke and Firth, they were riders from the yesteryear......

That song, entitled 'TT Hall of Fame', was originally recorded in the 1960s, and was sung by David Callister (who is now Manx Radio's political correspondent!) An updated version, with lyrics incorporating riders such as Joey and Hizzy was recorded by Manx pub singer Dickie Kelly a few years ago.

The TT hall of fame was sung by manx radio's David Collister, and I think it was written by the late Stuart Slack.

I still think that you can't beat George Formby singing "Going to the TT races" playing his uke and accompanied by the passengers in the railway carriage. So there!
One time, (1967 I think) blasting up the M6 on my old Bonneville, I couldn't get the song out of my head.
