Zoey………..

Zoey…………….

She was born not long ago and is she really pretty

She rode a silver plane all the way from New York City

Zoey has been more places then I will hope to ever see

Zoey has been more loyal than any friend could be

With some she traveled fast and with others it was slow

Zoey seen them all, she seen them come and go

She must have had some favorites, before I finally met her

And now that she is all mine, they better just forget her

Zoey is a lady and that she will remain

Zoey helped so many and she really did not complain

She has a classy beauty that everyone could see

I am the last to have her as she gave her love to me

She may be just a girl, but to me she is solid gold

And I just can’t hold the tears back ’cause

Zoey  is  growing up.

In the early 60’s, it was acceptable for white heterosexual males to sing love songs to cars! The original lyrics involved a 1932 Ford car or a deuce coop. It was an album cut on a Beach Boys album and it was re-recorded in the early 21st century. Zoey is a teen age girl who numerous straight males came to love and other girls admired. Zoey has a new love and the writer is trying to describe her. The lyrics can be changed depending on the time of release, if it is recorded again. The original title was the Ballad of Ole Betsy and as indicated before was about a car. It requires a remarkable harmony and a hauntingly beautiful ending to the song.  Universal  Music Publishing Group.
