The Gaslight Singers — He'd Have To Get Under - Get Out And Get Under (To Fix Up His Automobile) lyrics

Lyrics

Johnny O’Connornor bought an automobile,
He took his sweet-heart for a ride one Sunday,
Johnny was togged up in his best Sunday clothes,
She nestled close to his side
Things went just dandy 'till he got down the road,
Then something happened to the old machinery,
That engine got his goat, off went his hat and coat,
Ev’rything needed repairs
He’d have to get under, get out and get under
to fix his little machine,
He was just dying to cuddle his queen,
But ev’ry minute, when he’d begin it,
He’d have to get under, get out and get under,
then he’d get back at the wheel
A dozen times they’d start to hug and kiss
and then the darned old engine it would miss
and then he’d have to get under, get out and get under,
and fix up his automobile.
Millionaire Wilson said to Johnny one day,
Your little sweetheart don’t appreciateate you,
I have a daughter who is hungry for love,
She likes to ride everyday,
Johnny had visions of a million in gold,
He took her riding in his little auto,
But ev’ry time that he went to say «marry me,»
'Twas the old story again
He’d have to get under, get out and get under
to fix his little machine,
He was just dying to cuddle his queen,
But ev’ry minute, when he’d begin it,
He’d have to get under, get out and get under,
then he’d get back at the wheel
A dozen times they’d start to hug and kiss
and then the darned old engine it would miss
and then he’d have to get under, get out and get under,
and fix up his automobile.
