I'm Wild About Horns on Automobiles
That Go 'Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta'
Words and Music by Clarence Gaskill
Extra Chorus by Bill Edwards
Verse 1: Ev'ry body has a certain racket nowadays,
I just got a funny one that keeps me in a daze.
Some folks like the Op'ra and then others like the blues,
But I like something diff'rent, and here's the one I choose:
Chorus 1: I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go "Ta-ta-ta-ta!" ("Ta-ta-ta-ta!")
I don't know what there is about one,
But you can't get a girl without one!
I ain't had a girlfriend for many a night
Since I got that bugle I'm doin' all right.
I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go "Ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta!"
Verse 2: Ever since I heard that horn it's driving me insane,
I may feel all right but gosh I'll never look the same.
You don't see so many people on the streets today,
The cars have run them over, and they've all passed away.
Chorus 2: I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go "Ta-ta-ta-ta!" ("THIRTY FIVE BUCKS!")
I'm glad I saved my dough to buy one,
To be in style you ought to try one.
For Sirens or Klaxons the girls never fall,
But I get attention when they hear that call.
I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go "Ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta!"
Patter Chorus: I used to own a funny car without a running board,
And when I blew the horn, "fweep fwwep," you could tell it was a Ford.
I bought a second handed car from a friend of mine named Ray,
And when I blew the horn, "poo, poo," You could tell it was a Chevrolet.
A man I knew named Rosenbloom had a car that was his joy,
And ev'ry time he blew his horn, it went like this, "Oy-Oy!"
I'm a nut, I'm a pest, But there's one that I love best:
Chorus 3: I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go "Ta-ta-ta-ta!" You know the tune.
It clears the road each time I blow it,
I'm coming fast, and you should know it.
Whiie some folks like Dixie, or some other song,
I treasure my tooter, so please sing along:
I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go "Ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta!"
