Dodge-Veg-O-Matic Songtext
von Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

I′m gonna tell you 'bout the car that I just bought
It′s that Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot
Well, I'm gonna tell you 'bout the car that I now own
Well, it doesn′t go nowhere, it just stays all alone
You know, I like it, you know, I like it a whole lot

Well, that′s my Dodge Veg-O-Matic
There in the parking lot
My Dodge Veg-O-Matic
There in the parking lot
You know, I like it, you know
I like to watch it rot
(I don't know why)

I′m gonna tell you 'bout a car you′d best not buy
The brakes'll fall off and you will sigh
I′m gonna tell you 'bout a car that you won't like
You had best stay home, sir, better take your bike
I like it, I like it a lot


Because it′s my Dodge Veg-O-Matic
It′s there in the parking lot
My Dodge Veg-O-Matic
It's there in the parking lot
You know, I like it, though, yes, I like it a lot

Tell ′em

Well, I'll meet you at seven in the parking lot
We can all just stand by my car, you know and watch it rot
Well, I′ll see you now at seven, sir, don't be late
We′ll stand there and watch my car vegetate
You know, I like it, you know, I like it a lot

Let's do another verse

Well, go ahead and buy it, don't listen to me, go ahead and do it
You′ll have it home five minutes and you′ll know you blew it
See, the brakes are made of glass and tires are made of vinyl
You'll want to take it back find out that all sales are final
You know, I like it, though, I like this car a lot

My Dodge Veg-O-Matic
It′s there in the parking lot
It's my Dodge Veg-O-Matic
There in the parking lot
Well, you know, I like it, I like it a lot
