I hop in my old clunker
Oh she’s such a junker..

Yes she’s all rusty
And so very dusty…

Holes in the seat
As well has no heat..

All the paint is peeling
The lining is falling from the ceiling…

I turn the key
Slapping my knee..

She spits and sputters
As I dodge all the gutters..

My car coughs and chokes
Laughter comes from my folks..

I grin as I go bouncing
She’s loud in her announcing..

She’s missing a tire
The door is held on by some wire..

She has only one light
When it works it shines bright..

My first car, I got such a deal
Got her for nothing, oh what a steal..

Grinning as I grabbed the wheel…
