*Note: Words paraphrased from PINK CADILLAC lyrics as song by Aretha Franklin (songlyrics.com/aretha-franklin/pink-cadillac-lyrics/)
HEADING FOR VENEZIA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Young Syd, a squirrel with adventurous spirit most keen, Bought 1925 roadster, a vintage touring machine. With top down, tail flapping in the breeze, The goddess of freedom he was sure to appease. Popular was he, once featured in ‘Roadster Fanzine.’ Oh how Syd loved the roadster’s crushed velvet seats Sinking in them as he raced down the city streets. Waves to all the she-squirrels, feeling outta sight Spends his dough dancing with them on Saturday nights. Low on cash, Syd uses his roadster delivering food for UberEATS That’s when he meets the she-squirrel named Aretha, a singing diva who always orders lots of pepperoni pizza. *Oh these city streets move way too slow, don’t you know. Let’s go riding on the freeway! Drop the pedal, Syd. Go, go, go! So they cruise onto better-than-ever street heading straight for Venezia.
