Lyrics
I don’t know a thing about an automobile I can crank up the motor; I can turn the wheel So if you see a pile, and the pile won’t go And somebody standing by the side of the road…. That’ll be me …. That’ll be me and my automobile I called for a tow and they hauled me in To an old grease monkey they did highly recommend The monkey said “Man, there ain’t nothin’ to it. A new RGB-409-62 with a rapid-trans-6 modified flatulator oughta do it.” Well, the brand-new part made it run like new For about 3 blocks, till the engine blew I called Triple-A – they towed me again The monkey said “Man…I can’t believe it happened again! You shoulda told me that car was a double-aught 9 And not a pre-’97 triple-aught-5 You must be outta your mind! ‘Cause every time I put an RGB-409-62 with a rapid-trans-6 modified flatulator in a car like yours - It overheats the tripe-throttle knucklehead bilge-cam Cuttin’ off the spam-fluid coolant, of course On top of that, your rear-view aberrator’s loose, You’re looking stressed-out, so I suggest you get a horse!” So I bought me a book – called “Fix It Yourself” Rolled the car in the shade – got some tools off the shelf “If your P-line’s clogged and all caked with goo Find the Q-shaped hole – usually marked 0-892 Insert your smallest fingertip – and twist it till it hurts And noxious fluid runs over your face in maddening little spurts Place a left-hand Pinkle-tube – where your finger was Until you hear a sound – might be like a whir or a buzz I did everything it said – and crawled from under the car There were wires and hoses and various parts scattered near and far But she purred when she started – I didn’t dare thank my luck There was smoke and flame, a grinding noise --- And then never to feel the open road again….. The engine blew up. Well, I threw in the towel and said I’m just gonna walk When a buddy said why - don’t you call up Click and Clack on “Car Talk”? With nothin’ left to lose – and grease in my eye I crawled to the phone – for one last try….. It may have been the full moon – or maybe it was fate But they took my call – I didn’t even have to wait I told them my problem – and all I’d been through And they said, “You drive a what?” “You took it to who?” “You did what?” “For three bucks you coulda had your Little sister put the part in for you… Get a horse, man!” CHORUS …If you see a pile and it’s going real slow And a horse and a wagon in the middle of the road That’ll be me….
