Theme to My Mother the Car

Ev'rybody knows in the second life
we all come back sooner or later.
As anything from a pussycat
to a man eatin' alligator.
Well, you all may think my story
is more fiction than it's fact,
But believe it or not,
my mother dear
decided she'd come back
as a car.

She's my very own guiding star,
A nineteen twentyeight Porter,
That's my mother dear,
She helps me thru ev'rything I do,
And I'm so glad she's here.

Ev'rything my daddy never was.
well, now she wants me to be.
She's taken her place as the fifth member
of my small family. She'll blow her radiator
when things aren't going right,
And whenever she gets lonely,
we all gotta spend the night
with a car.

She's my very own guiding star,
A nineteen twentyeight Porter,
That's my mother dear.
She helps me thru ev'rything I do,
And I'm so glad she's here.
