"Dodge Veg-O-Matic" lyrics

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers Lyrics

"Dodge Veg-O-Matic"

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
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
My Dodge Veg-O-Matic, there in the parking lot
(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
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
The brakes'll fall off and you will sigh
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
I'm gonna tell you 'bout a car that you won't like
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
You had best stay home, sir, better take your bike
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
I like it
I like it a lot

Because it's my Dodge Veg-O-Matic, it's there in the parking lot
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
My Dodge Veg-O-Matic, it's there in the parking lot
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic 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
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
We can all just stand by my car, you know, and watch it rot
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
Well, I'll see you now at seven, sir, don't be late
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
We'll stand there and watch my car vegetate
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
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
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
You'll have it home five minutes and you'll know you blew it
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
See, the brakes are made of glass and tires are made of vinyl
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
You'll want to take it back find out that all sales are final
(Dodge Veg-O-Matic there in the parking lot)
You know, I like it, though
I like this car a lot

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