lyrics
The Bug is Back...
(with a vengsance!)
Tom Demarest 9/5/03
VERSE I:
They say if you remember the ‘60s, you must not have really been there.
In those days of compulsive obsessions with flowers, music, and hair.
To be hip you had to be at the happening, to be cool you had to own a guitar!
And all for the love of the planet...
The Beatle was the only cool car.
CHORUS:
Now the Bug is back....with a vengance! A cute car with an attitude!
So tired of all the Fords and Chevys, flyin’ by and being so rude.
You can get yours with a turbo, fuel injection, cruise and AC.
It hardly makes a sound..... may be a little too round,
But hey, It looks like a Beetle to me.
VERSE II:
We would freeze in the Beetle all winter, we’d swelter when we drove in July
But a ten dollar bill would fill up the tank and the speed limit never applied.
And if the Beetle broke down on the way into town we carried all it took to survive.
We had the mother Earth News, and the Rolling Stone,
And the Volkswagon Idiot’s Guide
VERSE III: If you had told me that the Bug would be back, I’d‘ve said now don’t be absurd!
Then all of a sudden...I saw one glide by and I stumbled right over the curb.
The Studebaker-Packards, & the Hudsons are gone, Edsel was a blip on our screen.
But while the memory survives and the boomers still drive,
You know the Beetle will be part of the scene.
