Desperate Dan was a solitary man, a loner



He had a girl but I guess he'd just outgrown her



It's hard to dig but he made his big decision



Became the man who ate his car - Collision !!



They spread the news to every local station



Come see the guy who swallows cars, - Sensation !!





CHORUS



They said he couldn't digest it, but he just went ahead



and undressed it



Mechanic in a panic, oh what a state.



He ate his meal full of steel from a plate.



Munched his way into a million hearts as he ate the tyres



and the spare parts.



Some guys do anything to be seen, on the screen,



what a dream, its obscene.



Now it's clear that his career took a wrong turn,



the Golden Gate on a dinner date,



Heartburn, heartburn, heartburn



He's left the earth in a multi-berth Apollo



Venus and Mars, the rest of the stars to swallow.





CHORUS
