This is a song from Richard Thompson's latest disc, Mirror Blue.
(Note that these are words really sung; slightly different than the words
in the notes.) Copied without permission. A must-have disc for a BC fanatic.
MGB-GT, by Richard Thompson
I've got a car and she might go far
She's the mistress of my heart now
She's a '65 with an overdrive
I cured her in every part now
2 in the front and 2 in the back
110 on the old Hog's Back
My MGBGT she's a runner now
MGBGT
Oh My MGBGT she's a runner now
I welded the sills and the old floor pan
Cut the rust with a torch and a hacksaw
Took the Rostyles off, put the spoke wheels on
Got a brand new salisbury axle
When I go to town the girls all smile
They say, Who's the man with retro style
My MGBGT she's a runner now
MGBGT
Oh My MGBGT she's a runner now
Lockheed discs and twin SUs
Original chrome on the grille now
Looks like a dream in her racing green
Competition's standing still now
Sprayed up her body, strengthened her frame
Stripped her right down and built her up again
An Alpine's fine if you've got the time
And a Healey'll set you back some
And a TR4 cost a little bit more
but it don't have the same attraction
Hard top handy, case of the weather
I don't care if it rains forever
In my MGBGT she's a runner now
MGBGT
Oh My MGBGT she's a runner now
MGBGT
Oh My MGBGT she's a runner now
