here’s a really pretty car
i hope it takes you far
i hope it takes you fast and far
wow , the engine’s really loud
nobody’s gonna hear a thing you say

something for the girl with ev’rything . . .

three wise men are here , three wise men are here
where should they leave these imported gimmicks
leave them anywhere , leave them anywhere
make sure that there’s a clear path to the door
