It is about a car and my experience with it. #dougfordparodysong

lyrics

Well, I was a’motorvatin’ my long white Cadillac
With a powerful engine and Murphy Bed in the back
This model they call it the Coupe de Ville
If that doesn’t impress you well nothing will

CH: It is better than driving a beat up Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford

So, I got into a card game in Duffy’s back room
Lady Luck was smiling and I was humming this tune
I tell you folks, I was hot, hot, hot
I went all in, and put the Caddy in the pot

CH: The guy against me put in his beat up Ford.
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford

Well they do say pride comes before a fall
Wouldn’t you know that I lost it all
The man took my caddy and left me the Ford in change
it was the only deal that I could arrange

CH: I got home driving an old beat up Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford

Driving around in the Ford I got a real fright
That car kept swerving to the right
Wouldn’t go left, or even stay in the middle
I kept droving round and round in a circle

CH: That’s what you get driving an old beat up Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford

Strangest thing was, like some apparition
That Ford beat off all the competition
People said it must be stroked and bored
Nothing could outrun the old beat up Ford

CH: Nothing could outrun the old beat up Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Fod

Driving the old Ford something wasn’t right
I started seeing people in a miserable light
I started running other drivers off the road.
I started mumbling and talking in code.

CH: Now it’s time to junk the old Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford

Now I have had enough of driving the old clunker
I’m gonna hafta take it to the junker
Can I get rid of this beat up old hack
I just want to get my Cadilac back

CH: Now it’s time to junk the old Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford

Ad lib – Yes, it is time to junk the old Ford, but I don’t think I want the old Cadillac back…

CH: Yes, It is time to get rid of the old Ford,
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford
A run down, rusted out, beat up Ford
