I went down to the water
With the help of my father
Out of the lake in mid-june
I pulled my car, mabu

I need an engine that runs

It came down to the wire
Put the pump to the tire
It gets me high
It makes her go

Now, that she's gone (so soon)
I need a car like mabu
And you know, she'll come around
I need an engine that runs

I drive my car through lakes and lagoons, oh oh oh
I drive my car, my car mabu, oh oh oh

And I know, when she's gone I swear I'll change
I need a car (I miss her anyway)
I need an engine that runs
