OF all the fossils in our town
81 Haskins was the boss.
He said the autymobile never
Would replace the boss.
He always used to sheer and snort
Whenever one went by.
And when he'd see one busted down,
He'd laugh until he'd cry.
He said the people all were fools
To 60 and spend their dough
For them gol ding contrivances
That never seemed to go.
Them devil wagons got his goat;
He'd never fall for one.
OF all the gol-dum foolishness,
Gas wagons took the bun.

An old one-lung machine
A standing out in old Sis barn.
ST got some gasoline
And poured it in the gosh burned thing
To see if it would start.
He cranked her up and thought he't

To drive the old gas cart.
He drove it down the road all right,
Forgettin' all his care,
And rode around till almost night,
And visited everywhere.
Next morning bright and early he
Was poundin' down the street,
He scared the bosses right and left,
And knocked folks of their feet.
A week from then he bought a car,
It was Of high Horsepower.
He didn't take time of to eat,
But drove it every hour.
He raced with everybody who
Showed up within a mile.
He said you might as well be dead
As not to be in style.
His whiskers blew ont in the breeze,

He said: "1'll show these gol-dine

He spent all Of his waking hours
In showing them new tricks;
Four cylinders became too tame,
And so he bought . six.
He's been arrested sixteen times
For speedin', so they say.
He got his whiskers all shaved of,
For they got in his way.
He talks of touring cars all day,
And dreams Of them at night.

He sort of chuckles, sneering like,
And hollers out, mo class" ST.
