| Never mind if you find it wet upon the street and slippery | G |
| Never bother if the street is full of ooze | H |
| Do not fret that you'll upset that you will spoil your summer frippery | G |
| You may turn about as sharply as you choose | H |
| For those myriad claws will grip the road and keep the car from skidding | I |
| And your steering gear will hold it fast and true | G |
| Every atom of the car will be responsive to your bidding | I |
| AND those thousand claws are mileage insurance too | G |
| Oh indubitably | C |
| Those thousand claws are mileage insurance too | G |
