Hot summer night in Sausalito

We left for Frisco in your Rambler
The radiator running dry
I've never been much of a gambler
and had a preference to fly
You said "forget about the airline,
let's take the car and save the fare."
We blew a gasket on the Grapevine
and eighty dollars on repairs

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard

Hot summer night in Sausalito
Can't stand the heat another mile
Let's drop a quarter in the meter
and hit the sidewalk for a while
I'll have a burger and a root beer
You feed the heap some of the grape
A shot of premium to boot, dear
We'll get across the Golden Gate

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard

Cashin' all my checks
Straightenin' out my bank
Spend it on a Rambler
with a wormhole in the tank
Look out over here
Watch out over there
Can't afford a blowout
'cause we haven't got a spare

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard

Wow. I haven't thought of that song in 20 years!

2. This is even weirder...
...I swear there was a lyric that went like this:

Another mile or two to 'Frisco
200 gallons from LA
The engine's thumpin' like a disco
We ought to dump her in the bay

3. You know, you're right!

Whoever transcribed and posted the lyrics left that one out! Geez....
