Lyrics Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman

That Little Sleeper Car

There at the stoplight was a little sleeper car

With power that you can't see

Painted drab, but then that's the way they are

But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.

My friends with guts tell me that I'm nuts,

But Ive seen all I need to see.

That little sleeper car might fool the world

But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.

Now my friends who've been right in the past

Told me that that car can't go too fast

And of course at first glance right they are

But that's because it's a sleeper car.

It's lookin' bad, it's lookin' sad, but I've seen all I need to see.

That little sleeper car might fool the world

But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.

It's runnin' bad, it's lookin' sad, but I've seen all I need to see.

That little sleeper car might fool the world

But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.

They just see rot, they just see rust

They just see a car that they just don't trust.

But I'm here to tell the world at large

This is one high-class little car.

And now she's pulling away from the light,

But I've seen all I need to see.

That little sleeper might fool the world

But that little sleeper car's not foolin' me.

No, no...
