Huddle, cuddle, crouch and kneel
Tossed hither-thither we silently squeal
Bumps and jolts
She merrily bolts
Ah... that’s our three wheel automobile!

Triangular in shape, manoevering in ease
Five-six passengers can merrily squeeze
An open door neat
No belt for the seat
The auto she jolts and bolts in the breeze.
