| Narrator | Once upon a time, there were two drivers. | 0:04 |
| (tires squealing) | 0:06 | |
| 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, tune him up. | 0:21 | |
| He'd check him out, even take him for a test ride. | 0:24 | |
| His friend got him in great shape for great mileage. | 0:28 | |
| Now the not so smart driver never ran right. | 0:32 | |
| He sensed he needed a tune up | 0:35 | |
| 'cause he was eating up fuel. | 0:38 | |
| He'd idle rough, misfire, even stall. | 0:40 | |
| - | Finally he conked out | 0:44 |
| where there wasn't a friend in sight. | 0:46 | |
| Our moral, don't be a dumb bunny. | 0:49 | |
| Be a smart driver. | 0:51 | |
| Get better gasoline mileage and save money and trouble. | 0:53 | |
| See your independent Texaco retailer. | 0:56 |
