Mr. Magoo
Adventures with Mr. Magoo: A Musical Tale of Roadside Chaos
Lyrics
Got a flat in Timbuktu
Experiencing a flat tire in Timbuktu
Waiting for AAA
Waiting for roadside assistance (AAA)
And I saw that single headlight through the rain
Noticed a single headlight in the rain
Flagged the geezer in the car down,
Flagged down a man driving in the wrong direction
He was going the wrong way
They sped away, leaving skid marks on four lanes
We sped away and left rubber on all four lanes
The man caused an accident with a pickup from Montana
He pulled a quick you-turn,
He made a quick U-turn
And hit a pickup from Montana
Hit a pickup and a fire hydrant
While plowin' down a fire hydrant too
Windshield wipers moving to the rhythm of his reckless driving
Windshield wipers slappin' time
Committed multiple traffic violations
As he committed several traffic crimes
The man is a one-man wrecking crew
This man's like a one man wreckin' crew
Speeding is just one aspect of his dangerous driving
Speedin's just a little bit of what he put me through
Despite the chaos, the narrator still loves the person (Mr. Magoo)
He went off the road and hit a tree
Recalls driving through a coal mine and colliding with a school bus full of nuns
Yeah drivin' can't be easy when you're 4 foot 2.
Describes the challenges of driving for someone as short as Mr. Magoo
Drivin's not that difficult to do,
Driving is generally not difficult, but it is for Mr. Magoo
But it's difficult to do if you're Mr. Magoo
Expressing the difficulty of driving due to Mr. Magoo's actions
When we drove right through a coal mine
Narrator remembers driving through a coal mine
And hit a school bus filled with nuns
Collided with a school bus carrying nuns
We dragged along a string of traffic poles
Dragging traffic poles through various weather conditions and hit-and-runs
Through all kinds of weather
Despite the challenges, the narrator still loves Mr. Magoo
Through eighteen hit and runs
Reflects on Mr. Magoo losing his glasses
I still love that baby
Expresses the hope that Mr. Magoo finds his glasses
Kept us on the run
Willing to trade future days for relief from motion sickness (Dramamine)
One day he lost his specs
The fear of being identified in case of an accident
Oh lord! He let 'em slip away
Speeding is a minor part of the troubles caused by Mr. Magoo
Still lookin' for them glasses
The fear and discomfort caused by Mr. Magoo's driving
I hope he finds them.
Describing Mr. Magoo's erratic and clueless driving
Well I'd trade all of my tomorrows for some Dramamine today
Reiterating the difficulty of driving with Mr. Magoo
I just hope they know which body bag is mine.
Despite the challenges, the narrator still loves Mr. Magoo
Speedin's just a little bit of what he put me through
Warning of potential danger ahead
His drivin', you know it scared the pee right out of me, yeah
Repeating the warning
He' s swervin' and he's weaving', and he doesn't have a clue
Intensifying the warning
You know divan's not that difficult to do
Emphasizing the difficulty of driving with Mr. Magoo
But it's difficult to do if you're Mr. Magoo
Reiterating the challenges of driving with Mr. Magoo
Oh, lucky for us I know a little used shortcut
Repeated warnings and a call for caution
Oh look out, oh look out,
Urgent warnings to be cautious
Oh look out, oh look out,
Continued urgency and emphasis on watching out
Oh look out, watch out now
Final warning to be vigilant
Mr. Magoo.
A humorous and cautionary reference to Mr. Magoo
