My Mother The Car

My Mother The Car - Sammy Davis Jr.

Everybody knows in a second life

We all come back sooner or later

As anything from a pussycat to a man-eating alligator

Well you may think my story

Is more fiction than it's fact

But believe it or not my mother dear

Decided she'd come back as a car

She's my very own guiding star

A 1928 Porter that's my mother dear

She helps me through everything I do

And I'm so glad she's here

Everything my daddy never was

Well now she wants me to be

She's taken her place as the fifth member

Of my small family

And she'll blow her radiator

When things ain't going right

And whenever she gets too lonely

We just all got to spend the night with my car

She's my very own guiding star

I mean a 1928 Porter

That's my mother dear

She helps me through everything I do

And I'm so glad she's here

My mother the car

My mother the car

My mother the car

My mother the car

My mother the car
