1
Dear Dad, don't get mad,
2
What I'm asking for
3
Is by the next semester
4
Can I get another car ?
5
This one here is sick'ning
6
On a wide dual road.
7
I might as well be walking
8
As to drive this old Ford.
9
Almost everytime I try
10
To go and pass a truck,
11
If I ain't goin' down hill,
12
Dad, I'm, out of luck.
13
And even if I get by,
14
It's still a rugged risk,
15
The way this old Ford
16
Keep a hitting and a miss.
17
Last week when I was driving
18
On my way to school,
19
I almost got a ticket
20
'Bout a freeway traffic rule.
21
It's now a violation
22
Driving under forty-five,
23
And if I push to fifty,
24
This here Ford will nosedive.
25
Dad, I'm in great danger
26
Out here trying to drive.
27
The way this Ford wiggles
28
When I'm approaching forty-five/
29
I have to nurse it along
30
Like a little stubborn pup,
31
And cars whizzing by me,
32
Dad, look like I'm backing up.
33
She just don't have the appetite
34
For gas somehow,
35
And Dad, I got four carburetors
36
Hooked up on it now.
37
I tried to hook another
38
To see if I'd do a little good,
39
But ain't no place to put it
40
'Less I perforate the hood.
41
Well Dad, send the money,
42
See what I can see,
43
Try to find a Cadillac,
44
A Sixty-two or three.
45
Just something that won't worry us
46
To keep it on the road.
47
Sincerely, your beloved son,
48
Henry Junior Ford
