Chromium and Steel
By Terence Anthony
Do you remember all that chromium and steel?
Those great American cars with so much sex appeal;
Long and low and mean, the finest ever seen,
Do you remember all that chromium and steel?
Do you remember all those wonderful machines?
With V8 engines, and the largest limousines;
Sweeping through the town, with the windows rolling down,
Do you remember all those wonderful machines?
Do you remember all those Saturday nights?
The drive-in movies and the coloured neon lights;
With the radio turned up high, and a girl sitting close by,
Do you remember all those Saturday nights?
Do you remember all that chromium and steel?
Those great American cars with so much sex appeal;
Now they're all gone away, from that time and from that day,
But I still remember all that chromium and steel.
