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
