SONG OF THE MECHANIC.

Four engine should stop when you're miles from a shop *And you think you've a choked carburetor,

Or you find that the hood doesn't work as it should

And your seat's getting wetter and wetters

If the dynamo squeaks or the petrol-tank leaks,

Your language need not be volennie,

For you very well know you, have only to go

And ring up a motor mechanie,

If your pistons should seize or your water pine freeze.

Or you've got too much play in your steering:

If your lands come unpacked or your brakes will not act

When down a steep hill you're careering ¦

If you puncture your tyres or your engine misfires,

Or your mascot proves untálismatic-

Well, you very well know you have only to go

And ring up a motor-mechanis.

If your car should capsize and you find with surprise

That you're buried completely beneath it.

Matters might have been worse. so it's foolish to curse

And perhaps to the devil bequeath it,

For cu hearing such names it will burat into flames,

But there's no need to get in a panic,

As you very well know you have only to go

And ring up a motor mechanic.
