Song of the Used Car Salesman

“Hello, hello Good Morning!” The salesman says, (though it’s actually late afternoon.) (We can’t have them rushing off,) he thinks, (when I have cars to move!) “See this little beauty…” (The side I’m leaning on anyway!) “I’ve so many interested buyers, I’m sure, this car will sell today!” The salesman sizes up the couple who clearly like the car. “Zero to sixty in nothing flat!” (Though you may not get that far!) “Previous owner? Took fine care.” (To wreck the interior in the rear!) “Runs so smooth, purrs like a cat.” (But sticks when changing gears.) The well learned smile, the soothing voice, the salesman sees his chance. “Let’s step inside, we’ll work it out, my dears you can always finance!” (The hidden costs, no don’t mind those, just the way it’s done.) “Sure come on in, have a seat, this is when it becomes fun!” As usual the costs are more than they think they can afford. (Of course if we didn’t start out doubled, we salesmen would get bored!) “Now look here it’s just a bit more, I know just how you feel. With a car like this, I’m the one who loses. Believe me this is a great deal!” (Yes indeed I lose this bucket of bolts I’ve had to push. Never mind the oil leak, or the tires have turned to moosh.) “Well… because you seem so nice I’ll take this much off too.” (There they are the happy smiles, too bad the jokes on you!) The salesman he waves goodbye as the car drives off the lot. Another couple, a little wide eyed, sees the new car in its spot. “Hello, hello! Good afternoon!”(Sunset reflecting off of the wheel.) “I’ve another buyer for this one but… you look nice, let’s make a deal!”
