That Auto Ought To Go 1908

In a moment of insanity
I bought a motor car,
It causes much profanity
and many a family jar.
I've spent a million dollars
more or less to learn its tricks
but when I try to run it,
the blamed old buggy kicks.

That Auto ought to go,
'twill make a "bug" of me
unless I learn to run it
in Bloomingdale I'll be.
I've never found the reason
that auto treats me so.
For with so much attention
that blamed auto ought to go.

That Auto ought to go,
'twill make a "bug" of me
unless I learn to run it
in Bloomingdale I'll be.
I've never found the reason
that auto treats me so.
For with so much attention
that blamed auto ought to go.

With a party of plump lady friends
we started for a ride,
I had a stunning Gibson girl
for a partner by my side.
When ev'rything looked brightest
there seemed to be a hitch,
so I studied styles in hosiery
as we landed in a ditch.

That Auto ought to go,
'twill make a "bug" of me
unless I learn to run it
in Bloomingdale I'll be.
I've never found the reason
that auto treats me so.
For with so much attention
that blamed auto ought to go.

That Auto ought to go,
'twill make a "bug" of me
unless I learn to run it
in Bloomingdale I'll be.
I've never found the reason
that auto treats me so.
For with so much attention
that blamed auto ought to go.

We started for New Haven Town
one Sunday morn at three,
The pesky thing broke down at five
and left us up a tree.
One thousand little kids appeared
who acted nice of course
they yelled with all their might and main:
"You lobster get a horse."

That Auto ought to go,
'twill make a "bug" of me
unless I learn to run it
in Bloomingdale I'll be.
I've never found the reason
that auto treats me so.
For with so much attention
that blamed auto ought to go.

That Auto ought to go,
'twill make a "bug" of me
unless I learn to run it
in Bloomingdale I'll be.
I've never found the reason
that auto treats me so.
For with so much attention
that blamed auto ought to go.
