Gremlin song to get you thru Friday... :)

[Jerry Casper <Gremlingts@xxxx>]

	I was chatting with one of my girlfriend's sons friends, who plays music
and helps bands, that if someone would write Retro music for us over-30
crowd, we'd buy more music. Keep the old style music, but write updated
lyrics. He thought about it, and agreed, and I also said if someone wrote
more car songs, that'd it be a big hit. He said his own father has a tape
set of nothing but car songs. So I thought about it the last few days, and
have written a few songs myself. Here's one, sung to either country rhythm
or the Beach boys " She's so fine my 409 " style, it'll work either way.
Have a great weekend! And remember...you heard it here first! <grin>

Son of a gun that 401
by Jerry Casper

Oh I bought a little car
it's as cute as can be
but underneath the hood
is a terror you see

Stuffed between the wheels
of a Gremlin its called
makes all those other drivers
quake with fear and be appalled

She's a son of a gun
that little 401
She'll light you up
and give you a run
With her 4-point belts
and torque links too
she ain't afraid of a Cobra
now she's coming after YOU!

She's getting kinda old
but you better beware
it's a really hot number
and it'll give you a scare

with the thrush side pipes
and those magnum wheels too
she'll leave you far behind,
with tire marks all over you

She's a son of a gun
that little 401
She'll light you up
and give you a run
With her 4-point belts
and torque links too
she ain't afraid of a Cobra
now she's coming after YOU!

Go go, little Gremlin
you get better with age
people laughed at you
but now they better behave

With your CD player
blasting out the tunes
you leave them all behind
looking like buffoons

Cruisin down the street
you're so fun to drive
with the 401 humming
I feel so alive

The Fords and the Chevys
they all try to pass
but I make them cry
as give you the gas!

She's a son of a gun
that little 401
She'll light you up
and give you a run
With her 4-point belts
and torque links too
she ain't afraid of a Cobra
now she's coming after YOU!

I've had my share of cars
and driven a few
but theres nothing better than
slammin' gears in you

The Camaro has it's Yenko
Shelby Mustangs were cool
But Randall knew his stuff
when he created you

You stir my very soul
when I hit the key
oh there's nothing in heaven
like that 401 and me!

She's a son of a gun
that little 401
She'll light you up
and give you a run
With her 4-point belts
and torque links too
she ain't afraid of a Cobra
now she's coming after YOU!
yeah she's got you in her sights
and she's coming after you!
