Lyrics

Dad, Dad, don't get mad, what I'm asking for
Is by the next semester can I get another car?
This one here is sittin' on a wide new road
I might as well be walkin' as to drive this old Ford
Now, almost every time I go to try and pass a truck
If I'm goin' downhill then I'm out of luck
And even if I get by then still I run a risk
The way this old Ford keeps a-hittin' and a-miss, hey!
Now, last week when I was drivin' on my way to school
I almost got convicted on a freeway traffic rule
It's now a violation drivin' under forty-five
And if I push two-fifty this ship sure will nosedive
Dad, I'm in great danger when I try to drive
The way this Ford wriggles when approachin' forty-five
I have to nudge along like a little stubborn pup
The cars whizzin' by me, Dad, look like I'm backin' up, woah!
It just don't have the appetite for gas somehow
Dad, I got four carburetors hooked up on it now
I try to hook another, see it'd do a little good
But there ain't no place to put it unless I perforate the hood, woah!
Dad, save some money, see what I can see
I'll try to find a Cadillac, a '62 or '3
Just somethin' that won't bother us to keep it on the road
Sincerely your beloved son, Henry Junior Ford
