Carburetor Song - as
sung by Myrtle K. Hilo |
Will you love me when my carburetor is busted? Will you love me when I no can shift my gear? Will you love when I need a new condenser? And when my clutch begins to shift Will you shed tears? Will you love me when my battery needs re-charging? Will you love me when I cannot blow that old horn? And when my connecting rod is bent And I no more one 5 cent Will you love me, ah papa? Will you love me, ah papa? Will you love me when my ka`a uwila no can go? O ku`u ipo Will you love me when my ka`a uwila no can go? |
