It wouldn't hurt the pistons, wouldn't hurt the rings;

if I had to walk though my legs would have the pings.

It wouldn't hurt the valves, wouldn't hurt the wheels;

if I had to walk though my heart would do some squeals.

The automobile sure was a mighty fine invention;

going the long distance just to make that connection.

We also have the bus, the train, the airliner too;

sure came a long way from the primitive horseshoe.

It wouldn't hurt the trans, wouldn't hurt the oil;

if I had to walk though my endurance in turmoil.

It wouldn't hurt the alternator, wouldn't hurt the radiator;

if I had to walk though I'd have to become a gladiator.
