This is a song that Marilyn and I do when we go out as a duet. It works great with The full band too ( Chaise Lounge ,of course) . I struggled over what category to put this in. Greasemonkey cabaret? I had a very very large 1969 Pontiac Bonneville convertible at one point. Why oh why did I ever get rid of that car? Six miles a gallon maybe? here are the lyrics The Coolest Car I Ever Saw When I was seventeen there was a boy I knew in school He was high on mathematics but pretty low in cool. He followed me and pestered me Asking for a date I found a million ways to tell him no, But that boy would not retreat. After several months of this I finally relented. I said I’d let him take me out but only as a friend. He said he was delighted And he’d pick me up at 8 I was not exactly optimistic when he drove up my street. Chorus: He had the coolest car I ever saw I was long , it was low and I pondered it with awe. It had a two-toned paint job Without a single flaw It was the coolest car I ever saw. Verses We necked a little, fought a little. You know how kids are? Mostly we spent tons of time riding in that car. He was in the driver’s seat and I was on the right And that car was like a world to us through those Summer nights. I found that he was more than math and science fair successes. And he found I was more than just perfume and pretty dresses. So when he said: “ please marry me”, I said “yes” with a blush. But it was half because I loved him, and the other half because…. Chorus: It was the coolest car I ever saw. It was long, it was low and I pondered it with awe It had fins and it had hubcaps That ride had it all It was the coolest car I ever saw. He had the coolest car I ever saw I was long , it was low and I pondered it with awe. It had a two-toned paint job Without a single flaw It was the coolest car I ever saw. Verse: Now we’re a little older and we had one kid, then two. Now he drives a Volvo and I drive a Subaru. And when the kids think we’re so square they scarcely can believe it We go out to the garage to see the car they were conceived in. Chorus: It was the coolest car I ever saw. I was long , it was low and I pondered it with awe It was miserable on milage but Man that thing could haul! It was the coolest car I ever saw. He had the coolest car I ever saw I was long , it was low and I pondered it with awe. It had a two-toned paint job Without a single flaw It was the coolest car I ever saw.
