This 53 year old machine
is still kind of mean.
Maybe a bit slow
but she can still go.
It needs more than one part
but she can still start.
It’s not ready for the junk yard
‘cause she can still work hard.
After all these years
she now runs in low gears.
Sometimes there’s an oil leak
an’ sometimes there’s a squeak.
Once in a while a rattle sound
but she never breaks down.
This machine is over the hill
an’ sometimes she needs a pill.
There’s lots of wear and tear
but she’s not ready for a rockin’ chair.
This machine doesn’t know the word
an’ I don’t think she’ ll ever retire.
This machine is a slow poke
but she’s not an old folk.
This 53 year old machine
is still fit for a queen
