Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
Now Denny O'Rafferty's motor car is the greatest I declare
It's made up of bits and pieces that he picked up here and there
The engine must be ages old but it's still got lots of power
With a gallon of stout in the petrol tank it does ninety miles an hour.
[Verse 2]
Oh, what a wonderful motor car; it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is Rafferty's motor car.
[Verse 3]
Now two of the wheels are triangular and the third one's off a pram
The fourth is the last remaining wheel from off a Dublin tram
The number plate's in Gaelic and the plugs won't even spark
And the chassis came off of a tinkers' cart that collapsed in Phoenix Park.
[Verse 4]
Now go for a ride in the motor car and you'll end up with the shakes
The road from Cork to Dublin is a veil of pains and aches
When traffic lights turn red ahead you'd best jump out the door
For the moment that Denny treads on the brakes his foot'll go through the floor.
[Verse 5]
Oh, what a wonderful motor car; it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is Rafferty's motor car.
[Verse 6]
Now if you could see the upholstery your eyes would start to pop
It's nothing but empty beer crates with a load of sacks on top
The windscreen's gone to Lord knows where and there's mothballs in the horn
And I reckon he'd only get half a quid if he took it to the pawn.
[Verse 7]
Now Denny was driving around last week when the engine did the splits
It went up in smoke and nearly blew O'Connell Street in bits
They searched around for Denny and found he'd landed up by heck
Away up on top of the GPO with his L plates round his neck.
[Verse 8]
Oh, what a wonderful motor car; it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is Rafferty's motor......
