lyrics

©1999 Jeff Bohnhoff

Eldorado, with your seats like hard benches
You’ve been emitting black stenches
For so long now.
And it’s a hard ride, on your tires for all seasons.
An old Caddy squeezin’ out a few extra miles.

Don’t you try to burn unleaded boy
It’ll overheat you if it’s able
You know that premium is always your best bet
Now it seems I’ve heard some loud pings
Coming from your big block V8
As you’re passed on by some little red Chevette.

Eldorado, you ain’t getting’ no younger
Your paint and your muffler
Are rusting away.
And a clear coat, oh a clear coat
Well that’s just some people talkin’
Your hell is shocks that bounce you home all the way.

Do your feet get cold when it’s smog check time?
Your spark won’t glow and your pistons whine
And your vinyl just keeps cracking day by day.
Your transmission’s lost its highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the fluid flows away?

Eldorado, with your time worn suspension
And Corinthian leather
Oh what a fate.
It may be raining
But there’s a ragtop above you
You’d better let some tow truck shove you
Let some tow truck shove you
You’d better let some tow truck shove you
Before it’s too late.

about

Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff San Jose, California

Jeff and Maya have an identity crisis. Their music is sometimes uproariously funny parody (like their spot-on "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody "Midichlorian Rhapsody", or hauntingly beautiful, like "Road to Jerusalem" or "Manhattan Sleeps". One way or another, their music will create strong emotions. Jeff and Maya have been creating music together since 1979, and plan to continue for some time to come. ... more
