_ [Db] The question of [E] the day is Rafferty's motor car.
[G] Hoot, hoot! _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now two [D] of the wheels are triangular and the third [E] one's [A] off the pram.
The fourth [D] is the last [A] remaining wheel [B] from off the Dublin tram.
The [Ab] number plate's in Gaelic and the plugs [A] won't even spark.
And the chassis [D] came off of a [E] Tinkers car that collapsed in Phoenix Park.
[D] Now go for a ride in the motor [Gb] car and you'll end [A] up with the shakes.
[D] The road from Cork to Dublin [B] is a vale of pains and [Bm] aches.
When traffic [Dbm] lights turn red, [Bm] the hedge, it best [E] jump out the door.
For the moment [D] that Denny treads on [E] the brakes, his foot'll go through the floor.
Oh, what a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest [A] ever seen.
[D] It used to be black as me [B] father's hat, now it's forty shades of green.
[D]
On TV and [Gbm] the radio and in every [A] public bar,
the burning [E] question of the day is Rafferty's motor car. _
[Ab] Hoot, hoot! _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now if you [Eb] could see the [C] upholstery, your eyes [Bb] would start to pop.
It's nothing but empty beer crates with [C] a load of sacks on top.
[Cm]
The windscreen's gone [G] to Lord knows where and there's mud [F] balls in the horn.
And I reckon [Eb] he'd only get half [F] a quid if he took it to [Bb] the pond.
Now Denny was driving around [C] last week when the engine [Bb] did the splits.
It went up in smoke and [C] nearly blew O'Connell Street [F] in bits.
They searched around [G] for Denny and found he'd landed [Bb] up by heck.
A way up [D] on top of the GP [C] or with his LPS round his [Bb] neck.
Oh, what a wonderful motor [C] car, it's the greatest [Bb] ever seen.
It used to [G] be black as me [C] father's hat, now it's forty shades of green.
[Cm] On TV [D] and the [Cm] radio and in every [Bb] public bar,
the burning [Dm] question of the [F] day is Rafferty's motor car.
Hoot, hoot!
