My dad called himself "The Roller Coaster Man" in some circles and we thought this was a fitting and lovely tribute to him sung as part of his eulogy by his childhood idol, Vernon Cornelius from his favourite local 60s band, The Quests.
I'm a Roller Coaster Man
Live from day to day
Get my money where I can,
Roller Coaster Man
There's no place I haven't been
Nowhere in this land
There's no place I haven't seen
Roller Coaster Man
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow may bring rain
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
But I'll be back again
But until I come back home
I am what I am
Happy just to be a known
Roller Coaster Man
