He Called It An Auty-mo-bile 1911

Today John,
I saw such a funny thing
a settin' in front of Farmers Bank,
a life preserver on ev'ry wheel
as sure as my name is Hiram Hank.
A feller on the seat in a diver's suit,
his hands holdin' on to a wheel,
a big fog horn in the leg of his boot
and he called it an autymobile.

Yes sir, he called it an autymobile
but I know he was foolin' me
I've read 'bout them submarines,
by heck! and they go to the bottom
of the pesky sea.
He thought that I was green
and gave me a spiel,
and saw how nervous
he would make me feel,
But you can bet your life
he could not fool me
so he up and called it an autymobile.

Yes sir, he called it an autymobile
but I know he was foolin' me
I've read 'bout them submarines,
by heck! and they go to the bottom
of the pesky sea.
He thought that I was green
and gave me a spiel,
and saw how nervous
he would make me feel,
But you can bet your life
he could not fool me
so he up and called it an autymobile.

Another thing that seemed curious to me
by jing! was the powerful smell it had,
he said it was nothing but gasoline,
I knew it was surely some thing bad.
And over each wheel was a great big wing,
a smoke stack put under the keel,
and up in front was a big window glass
and he called it an autymobile.

Yes sir, he called it an autymobile
but I know he was foolin' me
I've read 'bout them submarines,
by heck! and they go to the bottom
of the pesky sea.
He thought that I was green
and gave me a spiel,
and saw how nervous
he would make me feel,
But you can bet your life
he could not fool me
so he up and called it an autymobile.

Yes sir, he called it an autymobile
but I know he was foolin' me
I've read 'bout them submarines,
by heck! and they go to the bottom
of the pesky sea.
He thought that I was green
and gave me a spiel,
and saw how nervous
he would make me feel,
But you can bet your life
he could not fool me
so he up and called it an autymobile.
