zembla goes south, part 6: jessee's car

(Read Part 1 2 3 4 5)

We drove in luxury throughout the state of California in a stately 1995 Volvo station wagon belonging to Gene's 17 year-old brother, Jessee. As a token of gratitude, I asked actor/singer Rick Springfield to compose for him a song of thanks. Here is the result:

Jessee's Car

By Rick Springfield

Jessee is Gene's brother
Used to live in the cubbyhole under the stairs
But lately things have changed and it's far from obscene
Jessee's got himself a car and he's lending it to Gene

And he's driving it with such style
And he's using the turbo boost, I just know it
And he's defogging the windshield late late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessee's car
I want to drive Jessee's car
Where can I find a Volvo like that?

I sit alone in the back seat
Folding down the arm rest, the design's pretty neat
You know the breeze feels nice when Gene opens the sunroof
I want to put up my own window but the switch is childproof

And he's driving it with such style
And he's using that turbo boost, I just know it
And the dashboard displays temperature in Farenheit

You know I wish that I had Jessee's car
I want to drive Jessee's car
Where can I find a Volvo like that?

Like Jessee's car
I wish that I had Jessee's car
Where can I find a Volvo
Where can I find a Volvo like that?

And I'm looking in my driveway all the time
Wonderin' why my own car's so shitty
If I'd driven the Corolla down to SD
I would have broken down 'fore King City

Tell me
Where can I find a Volvo like that?
