“Turn around, turn around
See the facts on the ground,
History is bunk
It's your job to herd this junk”
“But I find the road much clearer
In our old Ford's rear-view mirror”
Replied the sad sack driver
The crusty old survivor
“I don't care where we're goin'
I'm better off not knowin'
And I do find things much clearer
In our flivver's rear-view mirror”
“Gonna crash, gonna crash
Gonna die and burn to ash,
History is bunk
I think you're stinkin' drunk”
“But the road looks so much nearer
In our old Ford's rear-view mirror”
Said the thing at the wheel
Of the automobile
“If I saw where we were goin'
I'd probably start slowin',
Put the brake right down
And turn around, turn around”
