The Lyrics
Number 1 in the series, flashing back: http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/billyjoel147.shtml
When it's time to buy a car
Just remember you'll go far
Make sure it's got custom tires
And I'll date you
In the showroom how it gleams
S'got more power than it seems
In my eyes, you'll be a star
And I'll love you
Love is blind, but give it just a shove
'Cause I take notice of your new belongings
Paint is red, leather's ecru
You'll up your blue book value
When you choose to buy that car
I'll marry you!
Just remember you'll go far
Make sure it's got custom tires
And I'll date you
In the showroom how it gleams
S'got more power than it seems
In my eyes, you'll be a star
And I'll love you
Love is blind, but give it just a shove
'Cause I take notice of your new belongings
Paint is red, leather's ecru
You'll up your blue book value
When you choose to buy that car
I'll marry you!

Arwen - just flicking thorugh the brochures... do you prefer Lotus, Aston Martin or Mercedes???
5s :-)

You materialistic elf.
Good to know. Now all I gotta do is get on 'Pimp my Ride' and get those MANLY hot-pink hubcaps and rims I've been wanting.
This is scary. Way back during the single years my friend Larry told me "If you want to find a wife, just buy a car you can't afford". He did, and he did.
This parody is awesome, but lacking in logic. If your dream guy buys a car he can't afford to impress you, then how will he buy you an expensive dinner. :D
Arwen's a 555$ a mile gal, we knew that before, nothing new here, move along folks... :-)
I guess you're not a car berater. 555
Arwen, I do hope this is sarcasm in it's finest form, or you may have a left rear muffler bearing loose. 0-555 in 4 mouse clicks. :)
This has to be the first time an AmiWriter has worked in an "ecru/value" rhyme. Well done, Arwen.
Love it! Very creative as always, Arwen. ;D By the way, I still remember the parody that you made reference to at the top...I read it many moons ago.
Have a good weekend! :)

So sweet ... vrrrrooooommm!
5's all around...What's your stance on the Maser?
