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