The 240D Song

In a rare moment of artistic inspiration, I wrote a song, or at least a parody, to the tune of Little Deuce Coupe. For your enjoyment:

Chorus: 240D-you don't know what I got

I’m not whinin’ babe so don’t put me down
But I’ve got the slowest set of wheels in town
When I think about passing, man I don’t even try
Even if it had wings it still couldn’t fly
She’s my 240D-you don’t know what I got

Just a 240D with a diesel mill, but she'll walk a Peterbuilt like she's standin' still
Injectin' little fuel with small stroke and bore, she'll do about 80 on the top end floored
She's my 240D-you don't know what I got

She's got a hydraulic clutch and a four on the floor, and she moves like a tortise while the engine roars
But if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid, there's one more thing-she's smog exempt daddy!

Well comin' off the line when the light turns green, well she blocks up the lane like you've never seen
I get cussed out a lot, and it's hard to steer, cause everybody's always on my rear
She's my 240D-you don't know what I got

The bad thing is that I was completely sober when I came up with it.

That has a little something.......
Maybe "Silver Thunderbird" by Mark Cohn could be your next project.

"She had great big fins and painted steel
Man she looked just like the Batmobile.....
With my old man behind the wheel."
