Hitched a hicker up above the border

I miss the East End high up on the Khyber
And I'm the target for a dozen rebel snipers
It's not so bad though with some beers in the freezer
And something fancy in the air-conditioned sleeper
From the Isle of Dogs...
....Misadventure and her mates.

I'm moving carpets through the customs at Dover
Thinking my journey was going to be over
Then they discovered a shipment of Moroccan
And said excuse me sir there's something you've forgotten
From the Isle of Dogs...

....With misadventures and her mates
