The Lovin’ Machine - Johnny Paycheck

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
