Never mind that romantic tosh

Love is nothing but a machine

Ignition is always the easy bit

It's not so easy to keep it clean

 

Spark plugs and pistons age

As we ride in country scenery

Remember water and tyres, but

Above all, oiling my machinery

 

Cylinders and connecting rods

Insist upon repeated lubrication

Keep handy your four-stroke oil

Available at the local gas station

 

As love's engine clocks the miles

Remember to drain my sump

You say my timing's off the boil

My cam shaft's over the hump

 

Get my fuel injector seen to

Someone to service my turbo

Wax and wash my bodywork

Is my exhaust about to blow?

 

You've been a loving mechanic

A motor engineer with lipstick

I always felt I could rely on you

To watch over my old dipstick

 

Spark plugs and pistons age

As we ride in country scenery

Remember water and tyres, but

Above all, oiling my machinery
