My Mother the Car

by Paul Hampton

Original Air Dates: 1965 - 1966 (NBC)

Everybody knows in a second life, we all come back sooner or later.
As anything from a pussycat to a man-eating alligator.

Well you all may think my story is more fiction than it’s fact.
But believe it or not my mother dear decided she’d come back.  As a car . . .

She’s my very own guiding star.  A 1928 Porter.  That’s my mother dear.
’Cause she helps me through everything I do and I’m so glad she’s near.
My mother the car. (2X)

Maggie Pierce & Jerry Van Dyke

The mother: a 1928 Porter outfitted with a hidden seat for the actual driver.
