Richard Thompson - Mgb-gt lyrics

She's the mistress of my heart now

She's a '65 with an overdrive

I fixed her in every part now

2 in the front and 2 in the back

110 on the old Hog's Back

She's my MGB-GT she's a runner now

I welded the sills and the old floor pan

Cut the rust with the torch and the hacksaw

Took the Rostyles off, put the spoke wheels on

Got a brand new Salisbury axle

WHen I drive through town the girls all smile

They say, there's a man with retro-style

MGB-GT she's a runner now

Lockheed discs and twin SUs

Original chrome on the grill now

Looks llike a dream in racing green

Competition's standing still now

I sprayed her body, I strengthened her frame

I stripped her right down and built her up again

MGB-GT

An Alpine's fine if you've got the time

And a Healey'll set you back some

TR4 cost a little bit more

But it don't have the same attraction

Hard top handy case of the weather

I don't care if it rains forever

MGB-GT
