The song was published in 1913, with music by Maurice Abrahams and lyrics by Grant Clarke and Edgar Leslie. It was introduced in vaudeville by Adele Ritchie, and was a hit for recording artists such as Al Jolson in 1913, Billy Murray in 1914, and it was revived by Bobby Horton in the Ken Burns documentary film Horatio's Drive (2003).
The title was essentially self-defining. The song poked fun at the trials and tribulations of the average young car owner of the 1910s, especially when he wanted to get down to some serious "sparking" with his female passenger - Licensing
