Romeo’s Garage

Peter Mayer/Vincent Varvel

Romeo and his brothers three
Got a motor shop south side of the big city
He’s real good under the hood he’ll make your motor sing
He says come to me Miss America get your windshield clean

Juliet’s tryin’ to forget her honey pie
Bought a red Ferrari just to make him sorry he said good-bye
She turned tail hit the guard rail at 103
Just wasn’t fast enough to out run the memory

Cruisin’ downtown on a Friday night
Hey honey baby that’s a real nice ride
Take me somewhere anywhere fast just step on the gas

Chorus
They all come back one day to Romeo’s Garage
They all come back one day to Romeo’s Romeo’s garage

There’s Gus his pickup truck’s a smoke machine
He says “Romeo will I ever cruise Casanova Street?”
He says all’s fair with Bugs and Cadillacs
There’s a million broken pieces in the old junkyard out back

Drivin’ down the highway tonight
Business is good the future looks bright
Step on the gas put on the brakes
Sooner or later a heart is gonna break

Love begins with just a spark
Sets fire to your heart
It carries you away way hey hey…

Chorus
