In An Automobile Built For Two

[verse 1]
Oh the pleasure is rare
To go out with a fair
Little girl in an automobile
That will hold only two
Of course just she and you
It's the only real fun that is real
You will spin through the park
Where the lights they are dark
Let out full speed on your old machine
If the maiden is shy she will give a faint cry
She likes it though she says you're mean.

[chorus]
In an automobile built for two
In an automobile built for two
You go spinning along
To the gay motor's song
That is where you get wise to your cue
You will whisper fond words in her ear
She'll resent them but then never fear
Her soul is enraptured
Her heart you have captured
In an automobile built for two.

[verse 2]
Then you spoon* and you croon
And you feel like a loon
That's a feeling that all lovers feel
Speak of love soft and low
In the moon's gentle glow
To the tune of your automobile
That machine gives a jolt
And your arm she does hold
While she sticks to your side just like glue
Then you cuddle up close and you quickly propose
In an automobile built for two.

[repeat chorus]

*to kiss and cuddle
