Grey Cortina

Tom Robinson Band

Wish I had a grey Cortina

Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner

Wish that I could be like him

Twin exhaust and rusty bumper

Chewing gum at traffic light

Stop at red but leave on amber

Grey Cortina outa sight

Wish I had a grey Cortina

Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner

Wish that I could be like him

Furlined seats and lettered windscreen

Elbow on the windowsill

Eight track blazing Brucie Springsteen

Bomber jacket, dressed to kill

Wish I had a grey Cortina

Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner

Wish that I could be like him

Never cop a parking ticket

Never seem to show it's age
Speed police too slow to nick it

Grey Cortina got it made

Wish I had a grey Cortina

Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner

Wish that I could be like him
