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

            grip 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

                bad behaviour on the street
                save yourself a couple of sheets
                collision rate keeps 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 fucker 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 and 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
