Recently, Magic Pants decided to remove herself from the world of MySpace. For the most part, this decision has had very little effect on me, but the one thing that her announcement did do was spur me to capture her single blog post, which was a recitation of the lyrics to a song she wrote while dealing with her old, temperamental car; I couldn't let her decision to delete her MySpace profile deprive future generations of her song-writing genius, now could I? So, without further ado, I give you Magic Pants' composition -- which she swears is all true -- "The Battle Hymn of the Taurus."
In the afternoon I sometimes have to drive all over town
My alternative to A/C is to roll the windows down
The amount of sweat I'm pouring makes me wonder if I'll drown
The Taurus still drives on!
I can see the coolant squirting from the radiator hose
I know it is leaking all over the heated Texas roads
How my car is still functioning I know no one really knows
The Taurus still drives on!
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Praise the Lord for Triple-A-ah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah
The Taurus still drives on!
My car tends to leave its tread behind while I am driving fast
Right amounts of powering steering fluid is too much to ask
I know not the speed I'm going or how much remaining gas
The Taurus still drives on!
As I turned the corner coming home I heard an awkward sound
I could see the axle broken and the bearings on the ground
So I sold it for a hundred to a fix-it chap in town
The Taurus still drives on!
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Praise the Lord for Triple-A-ah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
The Taurus still drives on!
