Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Mgb-gt

Oh, I've got a little car and she might go far

She's the mistress of my heart now

She's a '65 with an overdrive

And I fixed her in every part now

Two in the front and two in the back

A hundred and ten on the old hog's back

My MGB-GT, she's a runner now

MGB-GT

Oh, my MGB-GT, she's a runner now

Oh, I welded the sills and the old floor pan

Cut the rust with the torch and the hacksaw

Took the restyles off, put the spoke wheels on

Got a brand new Salisbury axle

When I come to town the girls all smile

They say, "Here's the man with the retro style"

My MGB-GT, she's a runner now

MGB-GT

Oh, my MGB-GT, she's a runner now

Lockheed discs and twin SU's

Original chrome on the grill now

She looks like a dream in her racing green

Competition's standing still now

I sprayed up her body, I strengthened the frame

I stripped her right down and I built her up again

Now an Alpine's fine if you've got the time

And a Healey'll set you back some

And a TR4 costs a little bit more

But it don't have the same attraction

Hard top handy, in case of the weather

I don't care if it rains forever

In my MGB-GT, she's a runner now

MGB-GT

In my MGB-GT, she's a runner now

MGB-GT

In my MGB-GT, she's a runner now
