Jimmy Rushing sings "Cadillac car" for "big patented coupe". I sing that and then explain most men fall short of this ideal and go:

"Nylon fur coat for Christmas and a Ratner's* ring
Lada** car and everything..."

* A chain of cheap jewelry shops in the UK that went bust after the owner described their products as "crap" on national tv
**Under Eastern European Communism the people's car, cheap and not very cheerful
