Lyrics
1. Every Sunday Otto takes a spin in his Auto
All the girls are dying just to know which one may go
Is it Mary, or Miss Carrie, Myrtle, Maud or May?
On he comes and when he stops, each coaxingly will say
CHORUS
Otto, you ought to take me in your Auto
And go for a spin in the park
You do the sparking while we’re out skylarking
Just keep it right up until dark
Then there’ll be moonlight
And that’s the best spoon-light
Otto, how happy we’ll feel
Otto, you ought to, now really you ought to
Take me in your Automobile
2. Otto leaves them all behind, and rides on down the street
Meets the only girl he loves, and offers her a seat
She demurely sits securely, right by Otto’s side
Answers softly when he asks her which way they shall ride
