Can't get my motor to start 
Can't get my motor to start 
Can't get my motor to start 
Can't get my motor to start 
Can't you get it to go? 
Is your battery low? 
No, I don't think so 

Try pullin' out on the choke 
Try lookin' under the hood 
Try pullin' out on the choke 
Try lookin' under the hood 
Lookin' under the hood 
never did any good 
The choke must be broke 

Try beatin' down with your feet 
Looks like she's startin' to crank 
Let's pour the gasoline out 
Try puttin' beer in the tank 
Bring the beer over here 
'cause I need it to steer 

Try pullin' out all the wires 
Try stuffin' cheese in the cracks 
Try dynamitin' the tank 
Smash all the glass with an ax 
Do you have any grease? 
Pour it over the seats 

What did you do to my car? 
What did you do to my car? 
What did you do to my car? 
What did you do to my car? 
Well we took it apart 
But we can't make it start 

We wanna go for a ride 
Let's push it over the hill 
We wanna go for a ride 
Let's push it over the hill 
Better not get inside 
'cause she's startin' to slide
