That Little Sleeper Car
|
|
There at the stoplight was a little sleeper car
|
With power that you can't see
|
Painted drab, but then that's the way they are
|
But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.
|
My friends with guts tell me that I'm nuts,
|
But Ive seen all I need to see.
|
That little sleeper car might fool the world
|
But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.
|
|
Now my friends who've been right in the past
|
Told me that that car can't go too fast
|
And of course at first glance right they are
|
But that's because it's a sleeper car.
|
It's lookin' bad, it's lookin' sad, but I've seen all I need to see.
|
That little sleeper car might fool the world
|
But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.
|
|
It's runnin' bad, it's lookin' sad, but I've seen all I need to see.
|
That little sleeper car might fool the world
|
But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.
|
|
They just see rot, they just see rust
|
They just see a car that they just don't trust.
|
But I'm here to tell the world at large
|
This is one high-class little car.
|
And now she's pulling away from the light,
|
But I've seen all I need to see.
|
That little sleeper might fool the world
|
But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.
|
No, no...
