They tell me it’s wine red [in color],
but my car is maroon/grape;
It’s the latest model . . .
My car always goes with me wherever I go / Because he’s my companion
That car is my life / I’ve never had any complaints about him
When I get a girl / He takes me wherever I want to go
When I get a girl / He takes me wherever I want to go

Lady, at your service, I’ll take you!

No thanks, I’m waiting for the old guy with the big hat…

Oh, you don’t say… what a lucky guy

He’ll be here, you’ll see…

The old man with the big hat! (That old man is really good— )
The old man with the big hat! (At getting women . . .)
The old man with the big hat! (I bet he has a secret—)
The old man with the big hat! (That old man really rocks…)

I’m going to buy myself a hat / A really nice hat; to compete with him;
(The old man with the big hat)
Dear lady, I’m wondering:
Why are you so devoted to the old man with the big hat?

Chorus (2X)

What happens is that a drop of water dripping on a stone eventually makes a hole . . .
That old man has his car and every time he passes by he smiles at me
He goes away, he comes back; if he finds me standing in the doorway
He tosses me a compliment and honks his horn . . .
He goes away, he comes back; if he finds me standing in the doorway
He tosses me a compliment and honks his horn . . .
Pi pi pi— (honk honk honk) every little while the old man passes by and honks his horn
Pi pi pi—it’s every little while the old man passes by and honks his horn . . .

Pi-pi-pi I’m always waiting / for that old man to honk
Pi-pi-pi I’m always waiting / for that old man to honk
Pi-pi-pi he’s got me dizzy with that honk honk honk
With the pi pi he honks at me / pi pi he’s got me dizzy with that honk honk . . .
