Song Lyrics:

I was looking at a Playboy the other day
And I seen these beautiful girls from L.A.
Lying on the beach with hardly nothing on
Looking real good, kind of soft and brown

I got fourteen days
My vacation with pay
I'm gonna drive to L.A.

So I went to get a tune up from Jake Du Par
In my '37 Betsy Coupe car
He picked up the hood and then stuck in his head
Then he listened to the motor and this is what he said

Old Betsy goes boing boing boing boing boing boing boing
And she ought'er go mmmmmmmmmm

He said a new distributor is what she needs
So I told him to fix her and I gave him my keys
And I told him to call me if something else went wrong
Next morning Jake was on the telephone, he said

Old Betsy goes boing boing boing boing boing boing boing
And she's supposed to go mmmmmmmmmm

Well I told him he was wasting my vacation with pay
And Jake said it would only be a couple more days
'Cause her starter froze up and her battery's dead
And her headlights are leaking oil he said

Old Betsy goes boing boing boing boing boing boing boing
Did she ever go mmmmmmmmmm ?

Then Jake called again in a couple of days
Said old Betsy ain't never gonna get to L.A.
'Cause her axle needs turning and her breaks are low
Her generator smokes and her timing is slow
Her crankshaft is cranky and her cam is jammed
Her lifters are lifeless and her rods are rammed
She needs new plugs and a barrel of oil
And I have to heat her block to make the radiator boil

Well... boing boing boing (That's right) boing boing boing boing
She'll never go mmmmmmmmmm !

Well I told Jake to quit after fourteen days
And just before I hitchhiked out to L.A.
I wrote him a check for what he'd done so far
But I got the last laugh on Jake Du Par

'Cause that check'll go boing boing boing boing boing boing boing
And it'll never go mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
"You see what I did was bounce one on old Jake.
I'll be dadgum if that worm didn't have the nerve to
stick me with an outrageous bill for what I thought
was gonna be minor repairs."
