Music Sheet, "He'd Have to Get Under--Get Out and Get Under, to Fix up His Automobile," 1913
Add to SetSummary
Early automobiles were often unreliable and needed frequent maintenance. Some motorists were able to make roadside repairs--preparing themselves for inevitable breakdowns by carrying tools and supplies. In this song a faulty engine interrupts a young couple's romantic intentions.
