so it was only one night!) ...

Mechanic on the Roof

Never Try to Chase A Goat

    If I Were A Rich Man
    (sung by Heavy, an old worn out VW mechanic)


 If I were a rich man,
 I would buy up all the Vanagons, from all around the world ...
 Syncros, Campers, Ambulances, too ...
 That is what I want to do!

 If I were a rich man,
 I would buy a Vanagon of every model of each year,
 Aircooled, Diesel, Watercooled, it's true ...
 That is what I really want to do!

 I'd build a huge garage to keep my buses
 Right in the middle of the town,
 With lots of good mechanics to give them care.
 I'd have a thousand tools for every mechanic ...
 And several hundred just for spare ...
 And they'd all be so happy working there!

 If I were a rich man,
 I would have a different bus to drive for every different day,
 All the colors from the bright rainbow ...
 Even colors you don't know!

 If I were a rich man ...
 But it looks like that will never ever ever come to be ...
 I have just a single Vee-dub van ...
 I will never be a wealthy man.


<spoken>
 God who made the Chevy and the Ford
 When you must been just really really bored,
 Could it be a private little joke
 That you keep me penniless and broke?

:)

(for anyone who would like a 1.6mbyte musical accompaniment (karoke
style)
for the above pharscial wimsey, lemme know and i'll send it to you
(off-list, of course!).
