Wikipedia:
Neither Truck On (Tyke) nor its B-side, Sitting Here, appeared on an original T.Rex studio album, but both were added as bonus material on re-releases of the 1974 album Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow.
The record did not perform as well in the charts as previous T.Rex singles. Marc Bolan acknowledged that “Truck On (Tyke) is my 14th hit record and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it didn’t make number one.”

Lyrics:
Truck on Truck on Truck on Truck on Tyke
Oh Tyke baby
You’re a slender living lady
You’re dynamite
You’re a jeep mouth dancer
You’re a right on dancer
