Second Hand Car

SECOND HAND CAR

(Neil Wilde/Tony Burton)

1. Swerves to the left, swerves to the right

If you're sitting in the back you better hold on tight

The wheel nuts are loose and the windows won't close

I can't seem to figure out where the gasoline goes

2. She's got no clutch, starts with a jerk

Speedo's bust and the breaks don't work

The whole damn thing is held together by rust

But with my foot on the throttle you won't see me for dust

Chorus: Second hand car

Cost me five bob

Falling to bits

But she's just the job

Take her for a little spin along the motorway

If you see me coming

You better get outta my way

3. I gave her a name, called her Christine

She's my baby if you know what I mean

When it's cold in the morning I gotta give her some choke

She takes off like a rocket, boy you oughtta see her smoke

(Chorus/Solo)

4. Push her down the hill if the coast is clear

Jump right in and throw her in gear

She'll puff and she'll pant just like a dixie queen

She's my five-star baby, she's a real mean machine
