the lovin' machine

from the minute that i saw her

i knew i just had to have her

i asked if i could take her for a spin'

but i heard her engine purrin'

and i saw her tail-light blinkin'

i knew i'd never be the same again

so i drove her 'round the corner

up the street and down the highway

showin' off to everybody that i seen

she's a steamlined

sleek lookin'

smooth runnin'

fast movin'

thrift-takin'

lovin' machine

she's a-quick with dual headlights

padded dash and positive traction

instant heatin' and a six-way swivel seat

and it's no wonder that the connoisseurs

of fine machinery

feel so happy

when i drive her down the street

she's got two of the biggest

and the prettiest and the roundest

softest bluest eyes

you've ever seen

if i leave her for a minute

all the hot rods gather 'round her

they just can't believe that such a thing is real

but they've never seen a chassis

quite as slick and half as classy

they'd give anything

to get behind the wheel

so i keep my little lover

locked up tight and undercover

give no one a chance to yell

mechanic's glee

she ain't too fast in the take-off

but she's a winner in the long run

and she's when she accelerates

if she shimmies just a little

at high speed

well who's complainin'?

fact of the matter is i think it's kinda great

with the proper restorations

safety check and a set of glasses

soon i'll take her anywhere i choose to be
