Instead Of A Clunck It's A Clanck

Instead of a clunck it's a clanck A dreamlike sound to my ears That irreplaceable new car smell Not known for many years Instead of a clunck it's a clanck I'm driving a brand new jalopy With all the bells and whistles My mood is feeling really free Instead of a clunck it's a clanck Musta died and gone upstairs Slapped myself, yup I'm awake Sitting in my underwear Instead of a clunck it's a clanck Jumped up at the stroke of six Forgot my knickers so here I sit I'm now in a terrible fix Instead of a clunck it's a clanck People start to gather around To know if I like my new jalopy Hope they don't look down Instead of a clunck it's a clanck Drove off with a confident air Enjoying my moment of ecstasy Wind messing up my hair Instead of a clunck it's a clanck Moments like these are rare So very few times in a lifetime Noticing all the stares Instead of a clunck it's a clanck A dreamlike sound to my ears That oh so yummy new car smell Missed it for too many years

Nothing beats the smell of a new car, but sadly it doesn't last long especially if you give a hitchhiking skunk a lift lol. Enjoy your week ahead Jack. Tom

Skunks have an extremely distinct and obnoxious odour!!! Having lived all my life and never having been exposed to this odour I'm happy say I've never been blessed. Jack
