Car Shopping

I'm sitting here waiting
to see if I got my car or not
black Chevy Beretta Z26
V6 power, loaded and hot!

Or I could get a Sentra EX
practical, mom-car, maroon
semi stereo sound and cassette
my favorite station out of tune.

5-speed, all that shifting
boy, it was a gas to test drive
juttering and jolting with the gears
I'm lucky I made it back alive.

But the Beretta, smooth
jammin', slammin', totally PHAT,
I'd take it out and my friends would say,
"CoolBeans! Where'd ya get that?

Take me for a ride, pal"
well...on second thought
they know how I reckless I drive
and wouldn't dare be caught

in the car with me
without being on heavy drink
unless I got the Sentra
then they just might think

I've become sensible in my old age
I've opted to poke cautiously, not fly
I've retired to the right-hand lane

...yeah right! Not till the day I die!
