here's my story sad but true,
my car broke broke down not once but two,
my tires were not round,
I slid upon the ground...

I should have know it when it would not start,
it was that stupid old distributor part,
I know that baby what I promised you
was that I'd be there I'd come around two

I put my faith into a pontiac,
it didn't go, I screamed out "tabernac!"
and now I know you're pissed but it's true,
except for cars I would have come around two

ah we coulda travelled around,
my other car is still in the pound
listen baby, it aint no lie..
I'm just an unlucky guy
I saw the look and I knew I had lost
a dollar more was all the better part cost
now listen guys, punctual will get you through
I know I said I'd come around two..

ah we coulda travelled around,
my other car is still in the pound
listen baby, it aint no lie..
I'm just an unlucky guy
here's the moral and the story from a guy who knows
don't buy a shitbox 'cause everything goes
just take a cab if you're wantin to..
keep a date and you'll come around two
