"Dodge Veg-O-Matic" lyrics - JONATHAN RICHMAN

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.
