Where did all the girls go?
After turning twenty one,
I bought a brand new car.
A sports job with a five speed box,
And glances from afar.
No Triumph, Sprite, or MGB
Too commonplace you see.
I found the Fiat 1-2-4
Sport Spyder was for me!
At every light some one would say
"I really like your car!"
Positano Yellow you could
Spot it from afar.
For girls it was a magnet.
How could I ask for more?
On sunny days with soft top down
It even would seat four.
Although those days were long ago.
They seem like yesterday.
I wonder if I had one now
Would I still feel that way?
My other half still harbors the
Convertible allure.
With modern folding hard tops they're
Much better that's for sure.
She loved the new Miata so
I bought one as a gift.
With automatic I still miss
My rapid five speed shift.
For sure this Mazda goes Zoom Zoom,
But I don't feel as free..
It's bumpy, noisy, small and so
I always bang my knee.
Getting in is difficult
But with the sun o'er head,
I think about the beach and of
The care free life I led.
If I Zoomed by you today
You might have heard me shout.
"Please call 9-1-1 for me -
You see I can't get out!"
