My Colleagues Drive Mercedes
My colleagues drive BMW’s and Mercedes
I drive a jalopy from the 1980’s
They think they’re so much cooler than me
though only I drive worry-free
They pay $1,500 a month just for the car
not to mention insurance and premium gas
While I paid for my beater long ago
and it runs fine on recycled vegetable oil
My colleagues used to look down on me
‘til I drove that jalopy ‘cross Russia nearly free
~ on a half-gallon of Sovietsky-era whiskey
