[Verse 1]
Everybody knows in the second life
We all come back sooner or later
As anything from a pussy cat
To a man-eatin' alligator
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, you may think my story
Is more fiction that it's fact
But believe it or not, my mother dear
Decided she'd come back
[Chorus]
As a car, she's my very own guiding star
A 1928 Porter, that's my mother dear
She helps me through everything I do
And I'm so glad she's here
[Verse 2]
Well, everything my daddy never was
Well, now she wants me to be
She's taken her place as the fifth member
Of my small family
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And she'll blow her radiator
When things ain't goin' right
And whenever she gets too lonely
We just all gotta spend the night
[Chorus]
With my car, she's my very own guiding star
A 1928 Porter, that's my mother dear
She helps me through everything I do
And I'm so glad she's here
[Outro]
My mother the car
Whoa, my mother the car
My mother the car
My mother the car
(My mother the car)
I was wondering
Do you think we could chip in
And get an XK150?
