Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all you're charms
I've never been inside you but you're so alluring
They call you "little mouse" by name in Rome and Turin
Looking now at your famous shape
They don't make them like anymore
Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all your charms
When things are looking good there's always complications
I can't be with you so I'm at the railway station
Let's run away and be so alive
Escape the drudgery of this nine to five
Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake, you know I worship from afar
Brake, baby, brake, how I wish you were my car
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all you're charms
I've never been inside you but you're so alluring
They call you "little mouse" by name in Rome and Turin
Looking now at your famous shape
They don't make them like anymore
Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all your charms
When things are looking good there's always complications
I can't be with you so I'm at the railway station
Let's run away and be so alive
Escape the drudgery of this nine to five
Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake, you know I worship from afar
Brake, baby, brake, how I wish you were my car

Yes, certainly it's about her infatuation with the Fiat 500 "Topolino" subcompact car ("topolino" is literally, "little mouse", I understand). But the anthropomorphism is what makes the lyrics interesting. It could almost be a guy singing to some Twiggy-type fashion model with whom he's infatuated. She's talking to the car like a boyfirend or prospective boyfriend. Great song, very catchy!
