Dear Dad |
| Dear Dad, don’t get mad |
| What I’m asking for |
| Is by the next semester |
| Can I get another car? |
| This one here is sick’ning |
| On a wide dual road |
| I might as well be walking |
| As to drive this old Ford |
| Almost everytime I try |
| To go and pass a truck |
| If I ain’t goin' down hill |
| Dad, I’m out of luck |
| And even if I get by |
| It’s still a rugged risk |
| The way this old Ford |
| Keep a hitting and miss |
| Last week when I was driving |
| On my way to school |
| I almost got a ticket |
| 'Bout a freeway traffic rule |
| It’s now a violation |
| Driving under forty-five |
| And if I push to fifty |
| This here Ford will nosedive |
| Dad, I’m in great danger |
| Out here trying to drive |
| This Ford wiggles |
| When I’m approaching forty-five |
| I have to nurse it along |
| Like a little suffering pup |
| And cars whizzing by me |
| Dad, look like I’m backing up |
| She just don’t have the appetite |
| For gas somehow |
| And Dad, I got both carburetors |
| Hooked up on it now |
| I tried to hook another |
| To see if I’d do a little good |
| But ain’t no place to put it |
| 'Less I perforate the hood |
| So Dad, send the money |
| See what I can see |
| Try to find a Cadillac |
| Sixty-two or three |
| Just something that won’t worry us |
| To keep it on the road |
| Sincerely, your loving son |
| Henry Junior Ford |
