SHOrage

By: Frank Costa

 

    Super High Output

    I don't think it means much to thee

    But I tell ya, It fills me up with a lot of glee when these three words are spoken to me.

I'll tell you why, this car always brings a tear to my eye

 

The Ford Taurus S.H.O

Has all the flow that that all these mofos just dont know

 

When riceboys see the car from a far they yell                                             ************

"Hey, that car reminds me of my Grandma"

I respond in a manner so swell

"Damn fool, don't know the engine made by Ford Designed by Yamaha?"

 

    Super High Output

    I don't think it means much to thee

    But I tell ya, It fills me up with a lot of glee when these three words are spoken to me.

I'll tell you why, this car always brings a tear to my eye

 

I take the S.H.O. out to show

Riceboys are out undermining the flow

I put on a show with the S.H.O

I start to go

I think to myself "Go Go Go S.H.O, show those mofos that you can go!"

Vroom goes the car

I know what it's thinkin

Whom do you think you are?

Thy must be drinkin

 

I tell them this car has all the speed

But all these fools just keep laughin at me

Until that is, I show them that it goes from 0-60 in 6.3
But by then, all they can see is the distinct color, namely burgundy

And after all this, can you imagine, including the passenger seat

It still fits 5 comfortably

 

FORD trys to be modest and calls it a Sport Sedan

But I refuse to give in and call it Sickness

This car could not have been possibly designed by MAN

 

    Super High Output

    I don't think it means much to thee

    But I tell ya, It fills me up with a lot of glee when these three words are spoken to me.

I'll tell you why, this car always brings a tear to my eye

 

Want an example why people think I'm sick?

To get gas, I go to the self-servicing pumps

Anyone who doesn't agree can just stand their and call me sick

But I don't leave it to those fat non-english speaking chumps

 

Just because it has lots of maintenace woes

The mechanics I take it to like to gloat

They think I look like a Forrest Gump

When I come in asking for a fuel and water pump

They keep asking me why I don't just sell the car and buy a civic

I say, "Hell, if I could man, I'd live in it"

 

Super High Output

    I don't think it means much to thee

    But I tell ya, It fills me up with a lot of glee when these three words are spoken to me.

I'll tell you why, this car always brings a tear to my eye

 

All I want to do right now is show you the dual exhaust

because then I wouldn't have to be here pretending that I'm Robert Frost

But It doesn't bother me

Because that's the way things have to be

You see, the S.H.O, isnt something flashy, like a beeper

If you leave it to the sage's, they refer to it as a sleeper

 

Let me ask you a question 

before Mr. Mcmahon here decides to stop me and give me detention

 

Can You show me something better?

Don't come to me trying to put the SHO in disgrace

If you care what I think of you, you better put it in a letter

Because if you come up to my face

I'll just put you back into your place

 

Sure, I don't have any dough anymore

But who cares how I'm livin'

"A Driver's Car Must Be Driven"

 

 

 

 

************  A Riceboy is an individual who makes slow cars who have the equivelent horsepower of a lawnmower look like they can go fast as apposed to making them go fast
