There was a time when the fastest R&R man in California
had my name on his most-revered chest patch
Crankin’ back the coil-spring-supported banjo,
then respectfully facing the hand-crushing torque-tube drive-line...
Yep! There’s just nothing quite like getting spit in the eye
by a cast-iron 2-speed powerglide

If you thought you had muscle enough to wrestle that bad-boy
off the block without some hydraulic help,
then I’ll tell you what, “Big Bad John”...
They’ll be finding you at the bottom of the mine
with a cooling line coming out of each ear
and a torque-converter stuck in your...what?

Ya, so when that sharp little Zsa Zsa gives you a couple toots of her horn,
you want to look as sharp as a Munchin’ Muncie on the sly
A ‘Gabor-at-the-door’ shifting you like a ‘four-on-the-floor’...hmm
But that’s the kinda stuff a guy tends to think about while he’s recovering,
after getting spit in the eye by a cast-iron 2-speed powerglide
Double-A’s to ya, pal!

Spit in the eye, eh?... that'll leave a mark.

Long time no Bluesy! Always a treat to see you!  Glad to see you and your muse are still alive and kickin'. Dpn't be a stranger and/or don't be any stranger. Whichever the case may be. ~L

Many thanks to you, Miss Sky!

Hurt? Nah! But it's a point of fact that I prefer rubber and cast-iron to concrete and steel.

Happy motoring!
