lyrics

Introductory comedic sketch. Spoken between Hezekiah and Jeremiah Procter.

(Imitation car noises, engines, etc.)

Hezekiah: “Hey there Jeremiah, what’s that comin’ into my yard, scarin’ off all of my hogs, then?”

Jeremiah: “Why I’m glad you asked, Hezekiah, this is my gasoline-burning automobile!”

Get out your Studebaker, Model T
Anywhere you wanna be
Get out on the road,
oh, the highway is your oyster
If you wanna buy a lean machine
Really burns the gasoline
Keep your engine nice & clean
Get yourself a Wolverine
Or better yet, a big old Lexington Roadster

If you got a little plan
Get yourself a Cole sedan
There’s alotta folks today
[That] really like a Chevrolet
But if it rolls, then it’s the car for me.

Get behind the wheel (Wheel wheel wheel…)
Of an automobile (beal, beal, beal…)
I’ve got a feel (feel, feel, feel?...)
For the automobile
Well, my old folks live sorta far
We take a ride in my motor car
What a deal! In the automobile

(instrumental)

Pack up your
Palomino pony rides
Get on up and climb inside
Put yourself in gear and
We will roll the top back (roll it on back!)
Wanna trade your Model A
For a shiny Ford coupé
Take ‘er for a drive today
Come and listen what I say
She’ll beat the lot at any county racetrack

You can drive a country mile
In the very latest style
There’s alotta folks today
That really like a Chevrolet
But if it rolls, then it’s the car for me

Get behind the wheel (Wheel wheel wheel…)
Of an automobile (beal, beal, beal…)
I’ve got a feel (feel, feel, feel...)
For the automobile
My old folks live sorta far
We take a ride in my motor car
What a deal! In the automobile
(Get back there, Mack!)
