Drive like a Romanian

After my series of satirical song / story rewrites, here’s a humouristic one from our recent travels in Transylvania (after: Walk Like An Egyptian, The Bangles)

(“Black spot” signal, Romania, photo)

All the twists & turns on the roads
They do play chicken don’t you know
If they drive too quick (oh whey oh)
They’re falling down like a domino

All the retired men by the road
They got the money on a spee-
dy German car (oh whey oh)
They blare their horn on your rental car

Crazy drivers take their chance
They passin’ blind and they cross medians
They’ve got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your speed and they pass you more

All horse carriages so wide & slow
They like to trundle and to sway
When the cars buzz by (oh whey oh)
They’re driving like an Romanian

All the roadside pedestrians say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Drive like an Romanian
