Buy From Bernie's Used Cars At Your Peril
Buy From Bernie’s Used Cars at Your Peril
By Elton Camp
Old Bernie’s widely seen and is quite a sight
He wears a cap and often dresses all in white
He claims to be righteous and blessed by God
The way he does business makes that seem odd
He says he offers the only genuine deal around
And has branches found in almost every town
He has controlled his empire for many days
And is surrounded by sycophants who praise
But many of his top men want to take his place
And wouldn’t view his death as any disgrace
If the car’s defective, would he do anything about it?
To be frank, his whole history makes me doubt it
Perhaps he’d get it off the road with a recall?
There is no way he is going to do that at all
Even if cars he offers cause suffering and pain
It is still functioning on the road they will remain
A really bad model to another dealer may transfer
But to fix the basic problem seems not to occur
The profits he makes go into his very own bank
Where they are put to uses that many find rank
Possibly he’ll say that problems he does deplore
But you need not look for him to do anything more
If an underling the whistle should then blow
He will lock the man up for letting people know
Go ahead and buy a car from this man if you must
But don’t blame me if he should betray your trust
