Lyrics The little ford rambled right along - Billy Murray

Now Henry Jones and a pretty little queen
Took a ride one day in his big limousine
The car kicked up and the engine wouldn't crank
There wasn't any gas in the gasoline tank
Just about that time along came Nord
And he rambled right along in his little old Ford
He stole that queen as his engine sang a song
And his little old Ford just rambled right along
His little old Ford rambled right along
And the little old Ford rambled right along
The gas ran out in the big machine
But the darned little Ford don't need gasoline
The big limousine had to back down hill
But the blamed little Ford is going up still
When it runs out of dope just fill it up with soap
And the little Ford will ramble right along

Now they ran over glass and they ran over nails
They ran over pigs and puppy dogs' tails
They spotted a cop and shot out of sight
They rambled all day 'til almost night
They smashed up fences and telegraph poles
Ran into ditches and deep chuckholes
They bumped into a preacher and the preacher took a ride
And the Ford rambled on with Johnny and his bride
The little old Ford rambled right along
And the little old Ford rambled right along
He swung around a corner and he ran into a mule
And the darned old donkey kicked like a fool
He brayed and he balked and he kicked the wheels
But he had to quit kicking to save his heels
When she blows out a tire just wrap it up with wire
And the little Ford will ramble right along

You can smash the top and smash up the seat
Twist it out of shape 'til both ends meet
Smash the body and rip out a gear
Smash up the front and smash up the rear
Bend up the fender and rip off the tires
Break up the lamps and cut out the wires
Throw in the clutch, to the dickens with the juice
And the little old Ford will go to beat the deuce
The little old Ford it rambled right along
And the little old Ford it rambled right along
Now cut that out, you naughty tease
'Tis a left-hand drive and a right-hand squeeze
Patch it up with a piece of string
Chewing gum or any old thing
When the power gets sick just hit it with a brick
And the little Ford will ramble right along
