Classic Cars

It's noisy and oily and prone to break down
It takes lots of your money, leaves you stranded in town
Spare parts you will search for at the jumble fair
That elusive item that's ever so rare

You fix it and tune it, spend hours underneath
The key turns, the engine fires, what an enormous relief
You polish and clean it, 'till it glimmers and shines
That wonderful chrome work, those beautiful lines

You meet at the car club and talk pistons and rings
The engines are started, the whole neighbourhood sings
The drive in the sunshine brings adoring smiles
Today your old girl will take you for miles

Our modern cars have all the tricks
They seldom breakdown, but are not easy to fix
They transport us in comfort and can take us far
But they don't have the magic of a classic car
