The Virgin Austin Allegro (52)

The Virgin Austin Allegro (52)

1

I’m an engineer from Britain

But in China I reside

Working on a brand new Austin

You will soon see far and wide

To be called the new Allegro

She is nothing like the last

Since this one is a virgin

Liberated from her past

When you park her at a motel

She won’t cry out for a man

Like the last Austin Allegro

Once her troubles had began

She was quite a fallen angel

All payments strictly in cash

Even Henry Ford in person

Looking anything but flash

With a little spit and polish

And forgiveness for her past

I believe our new Allegro

Is on top of life at last

Driven by the hands of kindness

And the flame of faith inside

I am confident she’s ready

Much like any other bride

You won’t see the new Allegro

Parked outside the Rose ‘n’ Crown

Looking for a little business

In this shabby part of town

From a drunken Irish navvy

On the prowl for love tonight

In the comfort that confession

Will soon put his conscience right

If you see the new Allegro

Rushing past and heading south

She will bypass any layby

Trading dollars for a mouth

Since the new Austin Allegro

Is a virgin through and through

To remind us of Great Britain

Back in 1952

With a little spit and polish

And forgiveness for her past

I believe our new Allegro

Is on top of life at last

Driven by the hands of kindness

And the flame of faith inside

I am confident she’s ready

Much like any other bride

I’m so happy; I’m delighted; she has been born again

After many a misfortune and of course a lot of pain

Well she really is a beauty and worthy of her fame

Since the new Austin Allegro is a wonderful dame

The End
