TICK - that was the sound of a golf ball

Or if you're a ping pong enthuestaic

that was the sound of a ping pong ball

but most generally you here it tick -tick

tick tick-tick tick tick-tick tick tick-tick

That was the sound of a match between a

golfer & a ping pong enthusiast

I played golf today 18 holes I played golf Whoooo

I did pretty good too

I think you would have been very proud of me

Tick fore - tick five six seven

I don't like sports very much

there's a vast number of sports I am not involved with

there's water skiing - in order to water ski really

you should swim right

you're not gonna stay up there all the time now

and I don't like to swim really

you know swimming is to me?

staying alive when I'm in the water - barley

I'd do anything to stay afloat

Even swallow Co2 cartridges

But I didn't come out here to talk about sports

I really I came out here

Peter talks about status

I can not think of one material object

that has more status in this country

than the automobile.

And it starts at a very early age now Right

I mean now at 14 kids want the car right

they get cheaters permits so they can drive

you get a learners permit at 15 and a cheaters permit at 14

and I guess I guess it's really necessary

because you loose a lot of face calling

up a girl and asking her you can

peddle right over to pick her up

they don't really go for that anymore.

And If you look back out of all the times

I had the automobile

Aside from a few interesting Saturday evenings

You got to admit The nicest times of all

was a Sunday afternoon, if you could get the car

you come down the stairs ker-bonk ker-bonk ker-bonk ker-bonk

Mom, Dad gonna take the car Ha Haaa

beautiful day for driving think I'll go out.

Ha Haaa Haaa Ha Huuu

Then they Then they level you with that giant killer

HAVE YOU DONE YOUR HOME WORK

if you were fast you'd say

mom, dad have I done my homework

whew..... out the door you'd go

pick up 3 other great pretenders

It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon

The time is now 10 o'clock in the evening

the same four guys are in the same car

well whata you wanna do

I don't know whada you wanna do

Hey we've been driving for se--van hours

Hey I've got an idea He He

Yah what's that

let's go to the drive-in restaurant

and look at the girls Hee Hee Hee

Yeh Ok

Well here we are but their all from our high school

wait a minute there's a car load over there

hee hee there's a place right next to them

let's get it

(sound of car squealing its tires to park)

don't look at em

Here's the conversation in the girls car

you never heard

Here they come

there they are

don't look at em

Remember the time when drive-ins first opened

and the girls used to come out to take your order

now you're lucky ya know if you get a girl in slacks that delivers it

I understand they're even putting in conveyer belts

in some drive-ins

but there was a time when the little girls came running out

in short little skirts remember them (whistle)

you pull in ( sound of car parking at drive-in) and a little girl would come running out (breath heavy)

may I take you're order sir

yes, but I don't believe it's on the menu Ha Ha

they don't let you flirt anymore now

they give you a little green box with a white button

and a little speaker grill (sound of beep)

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

What?

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

Oh Oh Ok

Um

We'd like one cheese burger deluxe special extra

the one the one you have out here with the little white cup

with that whatever that's in there.

we'll take it whatever it is

and ah

we'd like two hamburgers medium rare

with everything on them

and one hamburger no one hamburger

med no hamburgers

one frank and 3 Chile burgers

ok

and then we'd like

two chocolate shakes regular thick

for spoons ya know THUD!!

and we'd like two strawberry shakes

thin water em down or milk em down a little ok

cause we got somebody here with chapped lips

and they'd like

do do you understand what I mean

are you there

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

oh could you could you tell us what we have please

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

(garbled up words are heard from speaker)

and four six packs

We'll take it

and after you get your food order in

you got at least 40 minutes to wait

even if it's a cup of coffee

you got 40 minutes to wait

and you can not get out of your car right

remember there was a time when drive-ins first opened

you used to pull in get out exchange hello's and greetings (kiss sound)

evidently some people were getting out and exchanging

something a little heavier than hello's and greetings

so they have policemen there to keep you in your car

you can be 47 years old and drop your credit cards on the ground

officer that's my wall... I don't care who you are get back in the car

if you do get out you gotta be very careful cause the new restaurants

have radar now

so ya so ya have crawl on your belly between the cars

you get over to the side of the car

(breath heavy)

PsssssT (sound of knocking on the window) PsssssT down here

I can't come up they'll spot me

(sound of knocking on the window)

put down your window

(sound of window moving down)

Wheeew

power windows ha whew

this is a pretty fancy car

hey your a pretty fancy broad

(sound of window moving up)

(sound of knocking on the window)

(sound of knocking on the window)

(sound of car pulling out)

If you did manage to get out of the drive-in restaurant

without being named

there was a sporting event taking place

at the traffic light remember

it involved two characters

Mr. business man

who drove a 4 door family Sudan

black wall tires automatic transmission

seated next to him in a

1941 gray primer coated ford

with it's rear end 2 inches off the ground

tomato cans for mufflers

with his back to the driver windows

left are draped over the steering wheel

right hand griped on the gear shift lever

a sneer on his lips

sat THE KID

( sound of a car revving its engine)

well Mr. business man has just had his bands tightened

ya see and

those of you who aren't quite sure what I mean

by having your bands tightened

the bands are the rings in an automatic transmission

which actually effect the gear change

Uhha

I'll give I'll give you an example

this is an automobile with tight bands

(sound of car revving it's engine & changing gear with no problems)

this is an automobile with loose bands

(sound of car revving it's engine & changing gear with all kinds of problems)

well Mr. business man has just had his bands tightened ya see

and he thinks he will show THE KID a thing or two

meanwhile THE KID

( sound of a car revving its engine)

has inched his two fingers up over his left arm

this is the universal sign language among teenagers

for dragging.

you probably recall Winston Churchill during the war years

which everybody assumed meant V for Victory ya see

actually if you also recall Winston Churchill smokes a cigar right

he used to hold it in here right

and occasionally he would turn to his friends on the stage

and say Wanna drag

ya see and the kids picked it up

thee a light changes Ho Ho Ho

thee a light changes to amber an Mr. business man

decides to get very daring.

he pulls the automatic transmission down into low (plunk)

he puts one foot on the break (squeak)

still holding his foot on the break

in order to get that extra fast start

he pulls the automatic transmission down into low (plunk)

and pushes down on the execrator 5 inches

the car is eternally hemorrhaging

He knows He knows He knows

he's gonna have to have another band job

he is not gonna let THE KID show him up

the light changes to green and

Mr. business man is off

(sound of screeching tires)

(sound of car revving it's engine & changing gear with all kinds of problems)

looks at his speedometer

80 90 95 96 97 98 miles an hour

he looks out the side window

and the kids not even there Heee Heee Heee

you know what's there

(sound of a police car siren)

he looks in the rear view mirror

the kids still back at the corner

he never races anybody

he just sits there and scares the hell out of em
