Lyrics:
Your motor's missing* lady let me look up under your hood.
Your motor's missing* lady I've got to look under your hood.
Well I've got a feeling* that I can do your motor some good.
Your battery needs charging* your plugs ain't firing at all.
Your battery needs charging* your plugs ain't firing at all.
Your rear is very dry it's completely out of oil.
Your gears have been striped your transmission is awful dry.
Your gears have been striped your transmission is awful dry.
Let me be your mechanic then you'll be satisfied.
Who checked this motor before you brought it to me?
It's all out of time and everything.
That ain't no way to take care of a car.
Got to change the oil even if your old*** man ain't around.
You** should change every thousand miles if you** want to keep the motor running* good.
My prices ain't high I can make this motor go.
My prices ain't high baby I can make this motor go.
When I get through grinding* your valves you'll be ready to ride some more.
I'll give you a number one job because**** I like your little machine.
I'll give you a number one job because**** I like your little machine.
It's not your generator mama you been burning* bad gasoline.
* drop the g
** drop the ou
*** drop the d
**** drop the be
