| Narrator | Once upon a time, | 0:04 |
| there were two drivers: | 0:05 | |
| the not-so-smart driver who got terrible gasoline mileage | 0:07 | |
| 'cause he never took care of himself, | 0:10 | |
| and the smart driver who got great mileage | 0:12 | |
| 'cause he'd see his wise friend, | 0:15 | |
| his independent Texaco retailer for regular maintenance. | 0:17 | |
| He'd check under his hood. | 0:21 | |
| Tune him up. | 0:23 | |
| He'd check him out, | 0:25 | |
| even take him for a test ride. | 0:27 | |
| His friend got him in great shape for great mileage. | 0:28 | |
| Now, the not-so-smart driver never ran right. | 0:32 | |
| He's sent steaming to the tune up, | 0:36 | |
| 'cause he was eating up fuel. | 0:38 | |
| He'd idle rough, | 0:40 | |
| misfire, even stall. | 0:41 | |
| Finally, he conked out, | 0:44 | |
| where there wasn't a friend in sight. | 0:46 | |
| Our moral? | 0:49 | |
| Don't be a dumb bunny. | 0:50 | |
| Be a smart driver. | 0:52 | |
| Get better gasoline mileage | 0:53 | |
| and save money and trouble. | 0:55 | |
| See your independent Texaco retailer. | 0:57 |
