DUCT TAPE AND SARAN WRAP
** Image ID #848599 Unavailable **
The price of new cars today
is really a bit shocking;
I couldn't buy another car
Even tho' my old one's knocking!

I'll do a bit of maintenance
with duct tape and saran wrap;
the roof has started leaking
with rain falling in my lap.

I'll duct tape the noisy windows
when it's too much for me to bear,
the exhaust pipe fell off long ago
and now I breathe the toxic air.

You may shake your head and wonder
why anyone would keep a car like mine,
but it gets me where I'm going,
and I think it's really mighty fine!

I'll hold my head up as I drive,
proud of my ingenuity, and implore
that you try to understand
'cause at least - it's all PAID FOR!
