An Old Nincompoop From Madagascar

An old nincompoop from Madagascar
Bought a jalopy and entered NASCAR
  He avoided the crashes
  Drove around all the smashes
Too bad he bought a slow not a fast car

The race over, the old fellow was sad
To finish in last place hurt him real bad
  Then a girl gave him a kiss
  You can't imagine his bliss
The poor fool war-whooped and hollered like mad
