| Chorus: |
|
My old cassette deck drives me nuts; I hate that damn device.
It likes to chew on a tape thats new before Ive heard it twice.
The capstan is the part that always munches on my tape:
It winds it tight, then it takes a bite before it can escape.
(Chorus)
The worst part is to clean the thing; by God, I hate that job!
The makers said I should wipe the head with an alcoholic swab.
They recommend I clean it once for each ten hours of play.
A monthly chore if youre not hard-core, but for me thats twice a day!
(Chorus)
A tape wont let me pick out just the songs that I like best.
I have to hunt for the ones I want, and skim through all the rest.
If it were all on compact disc, that surely would be fine:
Id just ignore songs I dont care for, and Id listen twice to mine.
