this weekend - at DAYTONA...

NASCAR DRIVING - the sport of America

Round and round they go
Phhttt--Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt
At Daytona At Darlington at Dover
Round and round they race
Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt
Round and round the clorful cars streak
Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt
Moving advertisements
Flashily displayed to sell
Tires Oil Mufflers Insurance Burgers-Fries
Beer Cigarettes Sodas Headache-Powders
Autos Candy The Army
The American Dream goes round and round
Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt
Picking our favorite heroes
Mixed among poses from 'ideal women'
Accompanied by quick stops as pit crews
Send drivers out to continue the revs
And the Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt as they zoom by
Always turning left
Spectators intently watch
Spectators hope for an explosive crash
Just as we try and avoid
Driving around in circles
Worried our lives will wreck
As others watch
Some wish us misfortune
Others cheer us on
While countless others
Really don't care a fig
Just so long as we don't bump them
Or get in their way or passing lane
Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt--Phhtt.
