HIRE CAR


          double park - don't lock the door
          push the pedals through the floor
          give it loads and then some more
          it's a hire-car baby

            with the stick - grind the gears
            watch that distance disappear
            never yours in a thousand years
            it's a hire-car baby

                hire-car, hire-car
                why would anybody buy a car?
                bang it, prang it, say ta ta
                it's a hire-car baby

                  by the way, you're on the streets
                  save yourself a couple of sheets
                  collision rate will keep it sweet
                  it's a hire-car baby

            show this motor no respect
            bump it, dump it, call collect
            what else do the firm expect
            it's a hire-car baby

              drive the motherfucker anywhere
              just like you don't care
              put it down to wear and tear
              it's a hire-car baby

                pray the person who hired it last
                didn't drive it quite so fast
                this dakarum dodgem doesn't last
                it's a hire-car baby

                  try not to kill yourself
                  or injure anybody else
                  don't forget to fasten your belts

                    rent it, dent it, bang it, prang it
                    bump it, dump it, scorch it, torch it
                    crash 'n' burn it, don't return it
                    lost deposit, let 'em earn it
                    who cares, it's on the firm
                    ..it's a hire-car baby
