GODSPEED, THE MANY MOTORMEN

GODSPEED, THE MANY MOTORMEN

(to the tune of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”)

 


Rest well to these great motormen

Who’s absence leaves dismay

You gave us such amazing gifts

To grace our motorways

You saved our roads from uselessness

And made us smile each day

Your creations brought automotive joy

Smoke and noise

Your creations brought automotive joy

 

 

To top this list add Henry Ford

Benz and Diamler’s great feats

Enzo pushed Moteverdi, Ford and Ferrucio to compete

Tucker, Issigonus  and Chapman’s genius dreams

They all brought us automotive joy

Smoke and noise

They all brought us automotive joy

 

 

The racetrack was the battleground

 for man versus machine

Earnhardt and Senna, champions,  

who’ve now gone off the scene

The checkered flag for Wheldon

was so hard for us to see

Their driving brought automotive joy

Smoke and noise

Their driving brought automotive joy

 

Now to these men sing praises

As we go place to place

And gearheads unite everywhere

Their treasures to embrace

The legacy of motoring

With greatness, they have graced

Their creations brought automotive joy

Smoke and noise

Their creations brought automotive joy
