Time For a Tune-Up

This engine needs a little tune-up And the oil doesn't flow so well The battery's probably low on juice Check the sparkplugs -- Who can tell? These wheels have covered a lot of ground Over two-hundred thousand miles And now that the frame's started to fall apart ~ All that works right is my smile

It may not be running at its optimum, but the exhaust sounds like it's still in tact ;) And, hopefully, a little tune-up will help, but it's definitely not an ol' clunker ~ Keep smilin', Gershon!! That part works splendidly :)

Don't forget to rotate the tires and buff out all the scratches
