Oh the old spare tire it ain't what it usta be, ain't what it usta be, ain't what it usta be, You can't even tell where the retread usta be not so long ago.    So the old grey mare is back where she usta be, back where she usta be, back where she usta be many long years ago.
She may be old and lean but she don't need gasoline   Oh she flips her tail at a Ford and a Cadillac, kicks at a Pontiac, acts like a jumping jack. The old grey mare is back where she usta be many long years ago.
Oh the old grey mare is getting more attention, getting more attention than a widow with a pension , the old grey mare is getting more attention than she did long years ago.   And with all this fuss she's getting quite a temperament getting quite a temperment , we clipped her mane and gave her tale a permanent not so long ago . etc   etc.
