The Beetle
Verse 1
Time goes slow
In the back of a beetle
It takes forever
Moving at a dawdle
Verse 2
Little back window
And no back doors
Kids crammed in
Above the motor
Chorus
Those were the day trips
Of my youth
It was hot and uncomfortable
And it was cool
Verse 3
Putting down the road
Towards the beach
No radio in the car
Too loud to speak
Verse 4
Dads foot to the floor
Sweat on his face
We will never get there
At this pace
Chorus
Those were the day trips
Of my youth
It was hot and uncomfortable
And it was cool
Verse 5
Beach finally looms
All deep and blue
We all pile out
Gear and crew
Verse 6
Day ends
Covered in sand
Tired and sunburnt
Day has been grand
Chorus
Those were the day trips
Of my youth
It was hot and uncomfortable
And it was cool
Verse 7
Cram back in
The beetle of our youth
Long drive home
That car was a beaut
Chorus
Those were the day trips
Of my youth
It was hot and uncomfortable
And it was cool
