THE LOVIN' MACHINE
(Larry Kingston)

Larry Kingston & Johnny Paycheck


The minute that I saw her
I knew I just had to have her,
So I asked if I could take her for a spin.
When I heard her engine purrin'
And I saw her tailights blinkin',
I knew I'd never be the same again.

So I drove around the corner
Up the street and down the highway,
Showin' off to everybody that I seen.
She's streamlined, sleek-lookin',
Smooth-runnin', fast-movin',
Breath-takin' lovin' machine.

She's equipped with dual headlights
Padded dash and positive traction,
Instant heat and a six-way swivel seat.
Ain't no wonder then all 
The connoisseurs of fine machinery,
Whistle at me as I drive her down the street.

She's got two of the biggest
And the prettiest and the roundest
Softest, bluest eyes you've ever seen,
She's streamlined, sleek-lookin',
Smooth-runnin', fast-movin',
Breath-takin' lovin' machine.

If I leave her for a minute
All the hot-rods gather 'round her,
They just can't believe that such a thing is real.
Oh they've never seen a chassy
Quite as slick or half as classy,
They'd give anything to get behind the wheel.

So I keep my little lover
Locked up tight and under cover,
Give no one a chance to yell "mechanics lean".
She's streamlined, sleek-lookin',
Smooth-runnin', fast-movin',
Breath-takin' lovin' machine.

She ain't too fast in the take-off
But she's a winner in the long run,
And she's swell on heels when she accelerates.
If she shimmies just a little
At high speeds - well who's complainin'?
Fact of the matter is I think it's kind of great!

There's a proper registration
Safety check and a set of license,
Soon I'll take anywhere I choose to be.
She's streamlined, sleek-lookin',
Smooth-runnin', fast-movin',
Breath-takin' lovin' machine.
