T'was the day before aluminum.
And all through the towns
Steel fantasies did roam,
All finny at thousands of pounds.
Lots of metal, heavy and sculpted.
No custom kits, just regular Detroit iron,
The Mesabi Iron Range leveled and scalped.
Fins, I say, fin, fins and finny.
You could stab yourself on a '57 Chevie!
Sleek, but massive,
Caddie fins with bullet tail lights
Rare Edsels and Packards
Thunderbirds, killer headlights to match the fins
Remember the Rambler!
Knife edges everywhere, the Studebaker Fury
Corvettes, vruum, vruum, VRUUUM.
Beloved Impalas, Rocket 88's,
Imperials and Mark III Continentals
Where did we go in these steel confections...
Drive-ins, both food and movie,
Down Main Street to be seen,
Back to be seen again, groovy
We had pimples and ducktails,
hoping to meet girls,
but the cars had fins of steel!
And they were the magnets.
