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
