This year Santa Claus decided to go with an upgrade from the old sleigh
Twas just before Christmas when I had to park,
the Hawk, the Avanti and even the Lark.
The Bulletnose was tucked in the back of the garage,
all winter I’ll be driving a hundred dollar Dodge.
I should be out polishing and fixing some leaks,
but what’s the big hurry, it’ll be snowing for weeks.
The last time I drove it the Hawk sure did chatter,
I think that the clutch plate is going to shatter.
The Champion needs brakes, the Lark needs the same,
I’ll do that tomorrow, today’s the big game.
Look at the Studebakers I’ve started to stash,
I’ve found a few more but I don’t have the cash.
While driving around with no place to go,
I found a Daytona half buried in snow.
I think I should buy it, it doesn’t need much,
a hood and a fender, some tires and such.
I’m running out of room, I need a bigger place,
but it’s not a big car, I can surely find space.
There’s so much to do I soon should get busy,
The thought of it all, it just makes me dizzy.
The Commander to paint, the Champ to re-ring,
there’s so much to do, it soon will be spring.
