"No-Go Showboat" — from The Beach Boys Love You (1977). Brian Wilson's most vehicular late-period metaphor.
No-go showboat no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
Well i got a wild custom that wins every show
But it's a no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
Yeah but everybody knows that she just don't go
She's my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
White wall slicks with racing mags
She's just for looks, man, not for drags
'cause it's a no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
No go
No go
Well the guys all dig it they've got no complaints
About my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
And the chicks really flip for that metal flake paint
On my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
It really rates fine in the custom clan
With hand-formed panels, tuck-and-roll rear pan
'cause it's a no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
No go
No go
Well the engine compartment's filled with all chrome goodies
In my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
Yeah but everybody takes me even old ford woodies
In my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
When it comes to speed, man, i'm just outa luck
I'm even shut down by the ice cream truck
'cause it's a no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
No go
No go
No-go showboat (no-go showboat)
No-go showboat (no-go showboat)
She's just my (no-go showboat)
She's just my (no-go showboat)

- From The Beach Boys Love You (1977). One of the more playfully abstract pieces — the showboat that won't go as a figure for romantic failure or creative block.
