Brand New '64 Dodge |
| Money comes out of Dad’s billfold |
| Hankies come out of Mom’s purse |
| The engine hardly makes a sound |
| Even when you put it in reverse |
| It’s got a push-button transmission, hardtop convertible, 4-door |
| It’s November of '63 |
| And the brand new Dodge is a '64 |
| And we’re rolling slow down Main Street — |
| The asphalt and gravel crunch |
| Church is finally over |
| And we’re going to have our Sunday lunch |
| And then I will play football |
| With my buddies down in park |
| Later I’ll dream about my girlfriend |
| As I lie alone in the dark |
| She’s got short red hair and blue eyes |
| And her swimsuit’s also blue |
| And her little brother is retarded |
| But Jesus loves him, too |
| And Jesus loves our president |
| Even though he is a Catholic |
| There’s a lot for a boy to think about |
| As he walks along the railroad tracks |
| And my sister won’t get carsick |
| 'cause we’re going only half a mile |
| And the car still has that new car smell |
| And dad looks like he might smile |
| And the world is big and full of Autumn |
| And I’m hungry as can be |
| And we’re in our brand new '64 Dodge |
| November of '63 |
