Dodge Dart

: Now everybody; Wants to prove how hip they are; So they borrow up the wanger; And they buy a brand-new car; In the first three days; There's a dent in the trunk; By the time they pay it off; It's a piece of junk; When are they gonna get smart; Dodge Dart; I've got a brown sixty-seven sedan; With a big slant six; Well she burns a little oil; But she's mighty cheap to fix; She starts up easy when the engine's cold; The cops don't bug me cuz they think I'm old; She owns a little piece of my heart; Dodge Dart; Chorus; Go, little Dodgie, go little Dodgie; You know I like your style; Go, little Dodgie, go little Dodgie; Another fifty thousand miles; So please don't talk about that; Brand new car you own; Cuz I can drive to Argentina; For the interest on your loan; She's got four bald tires and a hole in the seat; But with her lifters clicking; She's the queen of the street; I'll drive her till she falls apart
Dodge Dart

: There's a brown 67 sedan standing in the rain; With a blown transmission and a broken timing chain; She used to take me everywhere I went; Now her doors are rusted and her rods are bent; Why'd you have to break my heart? Dodge Dart; I was driving to Philomath on the day of tragedy; I had the radio on and I was tuned to KOAC; Well I turned the corner and I heard a pop; Then the engine went dead and I rolled to a stop; Half a mile from Dairy Mart Dodge Dart; Oh little Dodgie oh little Dodgie; What am I gonna do; Oh little Dodgie oh little Dodgie; I guess I'll buy a Subaru; Well I told my friends that you'd never let me down; Now how am I ever gonna show my face in town; She died so young I had to weep; Someone make me an offer and I'll sell her cheap; I guess I wasn't so smart Dodge Dart; To Neal Gladstone's Home Page
