back to satire

An automobile serviceman swears that he received a late night phone call from Robby Krieger of the Doors, asking for help fixing a flat tire, in early March of 1966. He has stated that the following words, or something similar, were spoken over the phone as Robby tried to get someone help him change his tire.
 
In August of 1966 the Doors recorded "Light My Fire".

Change My Tire (Light My Fire, The Doors)
 
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
jack-stand doesn't go much higher
(can) some-one help me change my tire?
(can) some-one help me change my tire?
(can) some-one help me change my ti-re?
 
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now I can only lose
my sit-u-a-tion's pret-ty di-re
(can) some-one help me change my tire?
(can) some-one help me change my tire?
Try to change the stu-pid tire, yeah
