The Stanley Steamer - Dinah Shore

Get your veil and get your duster

Get the yen for goggles when the wind’s a guster

Keep your Hubbard gown

Firmly belted down

When you’re out in your Stanley Steamer

In a gale we never fluster

'Cause we’re told we get that old familiar lustre

If you’re dressed in style

Ev’ryone will smile

When you’re out in your Stanley Steamer

Honk, honk!

Honk, honk, honk!

The donkey used to have his charm

But he’s looking at us with alarm

For it looks like he’s back to the farm

But if you fail with your combustor

Then your speed is gonna need a new adjuster

And you must be just

Just the one we trust

Or we won’t step inside

No, we won’t take the ride

That you plan in your Stanley Steamer

That you plan in your Stanley Steamer

In your Stanley Steamer automobile

Chug, chug, chug, chug

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug

That flat tyre was so unexpected

There she sat alone and rejected

I started to sigh

Then I caught the eye

Of the man in the Stanley Steamer

It began to rain

When along the lane

Came the man in the Stanley Steamer

He was a sight to make me tingle

And a dish to make me glad that I was single

He proposed a ride

So I hopped inside

And away we started in the Stanley Steamer

It was not that she was stupid

Nor the shot she thought she got from Mr Cupid

I just lost my heart

From the very start

To the man in the Stanley Steamer

Honk, honk!

Honk, honk, honk!

The tandem bike has had its day

If you’re ridin' one you’ll find that they

Poke along in an obsolete way

With all the bright anticipation

Like a child with a wild imagination

And we wanna ride, wanna ride inside

Of the latest motor deal

Wanna sit behind the wheel

With the man in the Stanley Steamer

With the man in the Stanley Steamer

I’m a-nothin' but a dreamer

In your Stanley Steamer
