A Long Time Ago
A Long Time Ago
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
Seems like such a long time ago
I was walking on a lonely road
Getting tired of dreaming alone
like all the lonely people I had known
Seems like such a long time ago
there was no one who would share my song
I was just a boy far from home
but I became a man when you came along
We spent the whole night talking
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
But in the gold of morning
was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
I was so afraid to touch you
thought you were too young, you know
So I just watched you sleeping
Then you woke and said to me
The night is cold, it frightens me
I could sleep so easy next to you
Wasn't very long ago
you said that you would like to share my role
Then you started singing my song
Spent so many nights a-waiting
Lets not spend a moments wasting time
because we have very far to go
I will go if you will take me
I have never had a lover
I am young but I am so alone
We spent the whole night talking
But in the gold of morning....

Hotel California
Hotel California
Composer(s): Don Felder; Glenn Frey; Don Henley
Performer(s): The Eagles;
and various other artists
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

Slowly (Ann-Margret)
Slowly
Composer(s): Otis Blackwell
Performer(s): Ann-Margret
Tell me you love me again but this time slowly
'Cause you're talkin' too fast, baby much too fast
Come on and squeeze me again but this time slowly
'Cause I like your grasp but it's much too fast
You said that our love will grow together
'Cause your mine all mine
But dynamite love won't grow an inch
If you don't take your time
Come on and kiss me again but this time slowly
Not so fast, make it last
You said that our love will grow together
'Cause your mine all mine
But dynamite love won't grow an inch
If you don't take your time
Come on and kiss me again but this time slowly
Not so fast, make it last, you're talkin' too fast
Honey make it last, oh, not so fast, yeah

Hotel Blues
Hotel Blues
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi
Well I ain't bragging, but you know it's true
That I live my life making music for you
I've had some good times and I've had some bad
But I'd do it all again and I wouldn't be sad
Well I lived in the house of joy
and I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage
I'm gonna die in this hotel room
Well I've been riding in them limousines
And I've had my pictures in the magazines
I've had some good girls and I've had some bad
And I've had the ones that nearly drive you mad
Well I lived in the house of joy
and I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage
I'm gonna die in this hotel room
Well my manager keeps telling me
You've gotta keep on working to survive
He's constantly reminding me
the fact that making money ain't no jive
I've traveled this wide world
And I've sang my blues
And I've played everything from jazz to Blue Suede Shoes
I've played 'em in downtown
I've played to rednecks
I've slayed 'em in one town, and I've died in the next
Well I lived in the house of joy
And I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage brother
I'm gonna, 0 you know what I'm talking about
Take me home ....

A Long And Lasting Love
A Long And Lasting Love
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Michael Masser
Performer(s): Crystal Gayle
and multiple other artists
A long and lasting love
Not many people find it
But those who do their whole life through
Put their heart and soul behind it
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
And when I look into your eyes
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Chorus:
We got a once in a lifetime
All the dreams we've waited for
Are just beginning to come true
It happens once in a lifetime
When you find that special girl
Who knows the meaning of love like you
A long and lasting love
We share for many reasons
A special bond
That goes beyond the changing of the seasons
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
My long and lasting love

A Lonely Day
Composer(s): Pete Ham
Performer(s): Pete Ham
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do-oo do do
A lonely day, a lonely night
The time just drags on by, I know it can't be right
It's been so long since I was light
I would give anything to be with you tonight
Do do do do do do do do do do-oo do do
I just received, I never gave
I would not gamble if I knew what I would save
You gave me all, I gave you half
But I'd give anything to see you when you laugh
Do do do do do do do do do do-oo do do
I would give anything to see you when you laugh

Christmas Hot Rod Race
Christmas Hot Rod Race
Performer(s): Lead Foot Four
You've heard the story of the hot rod race
where the Fords and the Mercury's were settin' the pace
well here's one story you won't believe
it happened late one Christmas Eve
The kid who was driving that Model-A
was headed back to Oklahoma for Christmas day
when in the rear-view mirror there's a red light blinkin'
"oh, my gosh, it's the cops" he's thinkin'
Well he pushed it to the floor and let the motor unwind
but that guy with the light pulled up right behind
it was some custom model he had never seen
candy apple red and satellite green
The kid couldn't hear the engine and he thought he'd queer
that this sled was powered by eight reindeer
In the wink of an eye the old crate was passing
that light was the lead deer's nose a'flashin'
There was a chubby old gent at the wheel of this sled
with a beard'n'a jumpsuit all of red
smokin' a pipe and fairly blind
he passed the kid like he wasn't even tryin'
Well now the kid had raced against many cars
and he wasn't scared of one looked like it was from Mars
He would take anything, whether chop or stock
with his racing cam and his fifty-four block
Well that Model-A had what it took
hit a hundred and ten, just past Holbrook
the kid pulled alongside, said "you wanna go?"
the cat with the beard just said "ho, ho, ho"
Well they both were givin' it all it's worth
the lead was passin' back-and forth
'til they hit the mountains of New Mexico
the road was covered with ice'n'snow
Well that sled kept a-goin' but the kid started slippin'
he had to slow down to keep from flippin'
that snow's no good for his racing slicks
yeah, the kid was just about out of tricks
Well he thought that maybe he'd lost this race
when the other guy slowed down the pace
he was pullin' on the reins of them eight reindeer
shiftin' 'em down into lower gear
Well that cat kept'a putting the brakes to that sleigh
when he was just a car length away
he tossed a box right in the kid's lap
it was a brand new set of spinner hubcaps
The he dashed off so fast that a rock couldn't follow
though the kid was sure that he heard him holler
just before he nitro'd into space
"Merry Christmas, thanks for the Hot Rod Race"

À L'ombre Des Maris
À L'ombre Des Maris
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Les dragons de vertu n'en prennent pas ombrage
Si j'avais eu l'honneur de commander aù bord
A bord du Titanic quand il a fait naufrage
J'aurais crié:"Les femm's adultères d'abord!"
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière ...
Car, pour combler les vœux, calmer la fievre ardente
Du pauvre solitaire et qui n'est pas de bois
Nulle n'est comparable à l'epouse inconstante
Femmes de chefs de gar', c'est vous la fleur des bois
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Quant à vous, messeigneurs, aimez à votre guise
En ce qui me concerne, ayant un jour compris
Qu'une femme adultère est plus qu'une autre exquise
Je cherche mon bonheur à l'ombre des maris
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
À l'ombre des maris mais, cela va sans dire
Pas n'importe lesquels, je les tri', les choisis
Si madame Dupont, d'aventure, m'attire
Il faut que, par surcroit, Dupont me plaise aussi!
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Il convient que le bougre ait une bonne poire
Sinon, me ravisant, je détale à grands pas
Car je suis difficile et me refuse à boire
Dans le verr; d'un monsieur qui ne me revient pas
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Ils sont loins mes débuts ou, manquant de pratique
Sur des femmes de flics je mis mon dévolu
Je n'étais pas encore ouvert à l'esthétique
Cette faute de gout je ne la commets plus
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Oui, je suis tatillon, pointilleux, mais j'estime
Que le mari doit être un gentleman complet
Car on finit tous deux par devenir intimes
A force, à force de se passer le relais
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Mais si l'on tombe, hélas! sur des maris infames
Certains sont si courtois, si bons si chaleureux
Que, même apres avoir cessé d'aimer leur femme
On fait encore semblant uniquement pour eux
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
C'est mon cas ces temps-ci, je suis triste, malade
Quand je dois faire honneur à certaine pecore
Mais, son mari et moi, c'est Oreste et Pylade
Et, pour garder l'ami, je la cajole encore
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Non contente de me dé plaire, elle me trompe
Et les jours ou, furieux, voulant tout mettre à bas
Je cri:"La coupe est pleine, il est temps que je rompe!"
Le mari me suppli':"Non ne me quittez pas!"
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Et je reste, et, tous deux, ensemble on se flagorne
Moi, je lui dis:"C'est vous mon cocu préféré"
Il me réplique alors:"Entre toutes mes cornes
Celles que je vous dois, mon cher, me sont sacrées"
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
Je suis derrière...
Et je reste et, parfois, lorsque cette pimbeche
S'attarde en compagni' de son nouvel amant
Que la nurse est sorti', le mari à la peche
C'est moi, pauvre de moi! qui garde les enfants
Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère

Hot Rod Harry
Hot Rod Harry
Composer(s): Martin Christian
Performer(s): Johnny Bond
Everybody make way for Hot Rod Harry
of brains and cash I ain't got narry
Gotta cravin' love for blazin' speed
a whizzin' Lizzie, that's all I need
Now who needs dough, that's what I say
want somethin' bad enough, there's a will'n'a way
Da big dump heap just south of town
a lotta ol' cars just layin' around
Snuck out late one Wednesday night
so dark even ghosts were all outta sight
found four old wheels and a frame t'boot
won't look like much, but who gives a hoot
Got a motor block from an old dump truck
just my speed and just my luck
took it all home plus a dozen tires
got my hammer 'n' nails 'n' some bailin' wire
Heard tell about a man of another day
built a wonderful, wonderful one horse shay
I'll do me the same, just give me the tools
my mama didn't raise no idiots or fools
Lotta hard work 'n' she's ready to roll
I took to that thing like a weevil to a boll
A friend of mine towed it t'the top of a hill
a lotta smooth road 'n' it's all downhill
I released the brake 'n' was under way
sailing was smooth if I do so say
At fifty per, got ta sizin' her up
if I left sumpin' out, I'm a suck-eyed pup
Sixty MPH, just look at them tires
balanced so smooth 'n' the clutch's on fire
our instrument's workin', cool as the snow
this baby's a peach, beats walkin' you know
I put her together like Edsels and Fords
got me some old-timed running boards
Eighty, then ninety, sailing along
got fair piece from home, ain't nothin' goin' wrong
Hit a hundert'n'ten at the foot of the grade
as the builder of hot rods I've got it made
a foot on the brake, I slowed her way down
swung to a stop and turned 'er around
Pulled up in the station and up to the pump
hollered to the man, "Hey, man, fill 'er up"
He grabbed the hose, started t'lookin' around
scratchin' his head and snortin' around
"I give up," the station man said
"where's the gas cap?" (my face turned red)
I knowed there was something, as my mind went blank
I forgot to install a gasoline tank

À L'ombre Bleue Du Figuier
Composer(s): Michelle Senlis
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent les étés
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent ils sont passés
J'étais comme les bergers
Un chien fou sur les talons
J'étais comme les bergers
Moitié blé moitié chardon
Voyant se lever le jour
J'y croyais à chaque fois
L'amour appelle l'amour
J'étais prince je suis roi
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent les étés
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent ils sont passés
Ivre comme les oiseaux
J'étais poussé par le vent
Ivre commes les oiseaux
Je me suis cogné souvent
J'allais cherchant dans la brume
Une lampe ou un drapeau
J'y ai laissé quelques plumes
Mais j'ai gardé mon chapeau
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent les étés
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent ils sont passés
À la bouche une chanson
Dans mon coeur un amour fou
À la bouche une chanson
J'ai rêvé que jusqu'au bout
On dira qui était-il
Me jetant des roses-thé
Moi je dormirai tranquille
Heureux d'avoir pu chanter
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent les étés
À l'ombre bleue du figuier
Passent passent ils sont passés

Hopped Up Mustang
Hopped Up Mustang
Composer(s): Bill Romberger; Arlen Sanders
Performer(s): Arlen Sanders
Let me tell ya about my new steed
built for comfort, just my speed
Ford Mustang, modified to set the pace
Man, I could hardly wait to get out'n'race
It's got a 289 motor, with a special Cobra kit
there ain't nothin' on the road that can even touch it
It's got eight carburetors and it uses them all
with a four-speed stick that just won't stall
With that transistor iginition and power-pipe exhaust
this is the machine that'll really get lost
Everthing built to make it perform
it may not be hot but it sure is warm
We took delivery at the factory late one night
it was purrin' like a kitten and movin' just right
We pulled up on the freeway like it was goin' down hill
and started passin' the sleds like they was standin' still
Then all of a sudden, before I could bat an eye
a Cadillac sedan passed me by
Somebody said, like, "that's the wheels for me"
but by then the tail lights was all I could see
Well, these cats ribbed me for bein' behind
so I started to make that Mustang unwind
Pushed the foot-feed clear to the floor
said "that's all there is, there ain't no more"
Smoke was rollin' outta the back
when I started to gain on that Cadillac
I was sure I could catch him 'n' I hoped I could pass
but by then I knew I'd be short on gas
We went around a curve and passed a truck
I pulled out my rabitt's foot, just for luck
The fenders just missed the guardrail post
the guy in the back was white as a ghost
I glanced over at the chick on the other side
her face was blue 'n' I thought she'd died
But I wasn't worried, 'cause what the heck
by now me 'n' that Caddy was neck-and-neck
I guess they'd thought I'd lost my sense
the telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said "slow down, I see spots
the lines on the road just look like dots"
Went around a corner with the tires on the side
you could feel the tension, man, what a ride
I said "hold on, I got a license to fly"
and that Cadillac faded back and let me by
Then I looked in the mirror 'n' saw somethin' comin'
and I thought it was a plane by the way it was hummin'
I'd been caught by a helicopter 'n' the CHP
that was it, man, the end of me
Well, they busted me and threw me in the can
so there was nothin' I could do but call the old man
He said "wail in jail, 'cause I won't bail"
Dang me, he told me not to hop up that Mustang!

A Load Of Hay
A Load Of Hay
Composer(s): Howard Barnes - Michael Feahy - Ethelbert Nevin
Performer(s): Doris Day
Lovely day on top of a load of hay
All the world is millions of miles away
The old grey mare will get us there
She won't hurry and I should worry I haven't got a care
I'm o.k. on top of a load of hay
Hard at work with nothing to do all day
My only view, a sky of blue
Life is lovely because you told me you love me
Sun slowly sinking, wish you were with me
I'm thinking your arms around me
Oh what a thrill it would be
Every day on top of a load of hay
I'm the queen of everything I survey
The sun is bright, the world's alright
I'm contented cause you've consented to marry me
Life is lovely because you told me you love me
Sun slowly sinking, wish you were with me
I'm thinking your arms around me
Oh what a thrill it would be
Every day on top of a load of hay
I'm the queen of everything I survey
The sun is bright, the world's alright
I'm contented 'cause you've consented to marry me
I'm contented 'cause you've consented to marry me

Hot Rod Rocket
Hot Rod Rocket
Composer(s): Charlie Ryan; W.S. Stevenson
Performer(s): Charlie Ryan
You heard of the Russians 'n' their man in space
they say we're behind in this rocket race
Well up in Washington they started thinkin'
they needed the cat with the Hot Rod Lincoln
'Cause he was half of the Hot Rod Race
the Hot Rod Lincoln, 'n' the Burlington Chase
"Pass the Russians" was their battle cry
or they'll rule the world as well as the sky
Now the kid that was drivin' that hopped up hack
turned twenty-one just a while back
He got a letter from his Uncle Sam
he hopped in his rod & said "Here I Am"
Down at Canavaral not long after that
who should I see but the hot rod cat
Boarded the missile with a smile on his face
I knew right then there was gonna be a race
When the hatch was shut on his channeled rod
I heard him sing out to a gathered crowd
"don't stand to close when I throttle her back
man this rod is mean, like there ain't no slack"
When the count-down came, later that day
blasted off, he was up-and-away
Screamed off the pad with his hot machine
wastin' no time pouring on the steam
Then all of a sudden, way up ahead
he spied a Russian in his rocket red
He pushed the button 'n' gave her a blast
'n' went into orbit, and I do mean fast
Passed old Jupiter, headed for Mars
clippin' them off up there in the stars
Commin' up fast, away out in space
like, man, they was havin' a rocket race
The Kid never frowned on an honest race
as long as it was done in a proper place
He gave her a blast, to make her unwind
he was gainin' fast, commin' up from behind
He was hummin' along at a frantic clip
'cause there was no speed limit on this trip
The cat in the Lincoln was takin' a ride
'n' him 'n' that Russian was side-by-side
There wasn't a crowd out there in space
him 'n' that Sputnik was havin' a race
He figgered that he could get enough force
to steer the Russian off'n his course
Heading for the sun, where it's good 'n' hot
so he blasted off just one more pot
Eased over beside him, and crowded him out
sure enough the Russian had'a turn 'em about
Countries are bettin', and the stakes are high
on just who is gonna rule the sky
Now this is not the end of this here race
'cause that hot rod cat's still out in space
We haven't heard lately, but we will soon
that hot rod cat's headed for the moon
Time stands still when you're out in space
but man we're havin' a rocket race

A Little White Gardenia
A Little White Gardenia
Composer(s): Sam Coslow
Performer(s): Al Bowlly
and multiple other artists
For I bring a little white gardenia
As refreshing as a day in May
You may wear it if you care
Or toss it away
If you look into this white gardenia
There's a message there I dare not say
That I'll let this little white gardenia convey
Who knows tomorrow we may be
Together or so far apart
Take this token of my love
Cherish it and keep it close to your heart
If our paths should ever cross again dear
Accidentally, or by fate designed
If you wear a little white gardenia
I'll know you are mine
Who knows tomorrow we may be
Together or so far apart
Take this token of my love
Cherish it and keep it close to your heart
If our paths should ever cross again dear
Accidentally, or by fate designed
If you wear a little white gardenia
I'll know you are mine

X-15
X-15
Composer(s): Johnny Bond
Performer(s): Johnny Bond
Gather 'round you cat's 'n' you'll hear
about a race I had in the stratosphere
Ol' Joe had a slick jet, I mean
and I flew a souped-up X-15
Now don't tune me out, I know what you're a-thinkin'
'n I ain't gonna bug ya with no Hot Rod Lincoln
No, that was a long time ago
by my grandad back in nineteen six-oh
But now it's a-nineteen'n'ninety seven
we raced our jets next door to heaven
So if you're ready I'll start at the top
once I get a-goin' I won't wanna stop
Well they fastened our jets up under the wing
of one of them big B70 things
lifted us up to 80,000 feet
where the atmosphere and the stratosphere meet
Well, they cut us loose, and we cut away out
broke the sound barrier, there's not doubt
Gave her the gun, heard the motors purr
revved her up to 4,000 per
Off to my left, ol' Joe was a-whistlin'
he was doin' okay in that rocket of hizzin'
it was half past two when we left Nevada
now passin' below, Denver, Colorada
I noticed I was fallin' a little behind
so I thought I'd make this ol' turtle unwind
This little baby is sweeter than sweet
at a hundred and forty-four thousand feet
Now this X-15 is a goin' thing
got two little stubs, they call it a wing
won't help you much if the motor stalls
hey, lookie below, Niagra Falls
I kept goin' up on a two-degree course
ol' Joe kept comin', he weren't ridin' no horse
I noticed my (?) was a-makin' commotion
about the time we reached the Atlantic ocean
Now 'long about here, supposed to turn 'em around
and gather more speed as we angle 'em down
Sumpin' had happened, I heard a loud pop
looked out in time to see both motors stop
Now this little dip wasn't wrote in the script
when them jets went out I nearly quit
'cause when this dang thing starts to fall
it floats like a two-ton cannonball
Wait just a minute, sumpin' wrong here
this thing ain't fallin', goin' high in the air
faster'n'faster, the higher we go
how we gonna get down, man I don't know
Well we circled the Earth in three hours flat
yes I'm in orbit, no doubt about that
here I sit, just circlin' in space
what's that?
Don't ask me, I don't know who won the race

A Little Voice
A Little Voice
Composer(s): Gluck - Lester
Performer(s): Dean Martin
A little voice deep within me
Says our romace is through
I've been suspicious lately
Your coldness gave me the clue
A little voice deep within me
Says we're drifting apart
The way you say "I love you"
No longer comes from your heart
I wanna hear you tell me that your love still is strong
I want those old embraces to prove my fears are wrong
You'll find that someday if you'll leave me
I will know how how to cry
But that little voice within me
Won't know how to tell you goodbye
But that little voice within me
Won't know how to tell you goodbye

Hot Rod Boogie
Hot Rod Boogie
Composer(s): Dorse Lewis
Performer(s): Dorse Lewis
Rock It Boys!
Now I went to the junk yard the other day
Justta take a load a scrap iron away
Now I got off to a pretty good start
when I traded my junk for some used car parts
I took 'em home and I never stopped
'n' I put 'em together, and here's what I've got
(setta dice...shake, rattle and roll, roll 'er boys)
Now, the cab and chassis of a model-A
and the springs and shackels of a Chevrolet
A Mercury motor and a Dodge rear end
and the fenders off an old Terraplane
Fuel pump off a GMC and the windshield off an ol' Model-T
Two big axles, one-a them dead
off a Studebaker 'n' a President (split axles makes it boogie)
Now, it's got a Crosley tire and a Cadillac tube
a Buick carbureter and a Henry J hood (all parts interchange)
Plymouth radiator and Chrysler lights
'n' a generator off an old Willys Knight
The gearshift up on the steering wheel
and the emergency off an Olds-O-Mobile, a Rocket 88 (rock it boys)
Now it's got the Kaiser looks 'n' the Frazer shape
a Pontiac horn 'n' Packard licence plates (violatin')
When I flunged it together I had a lot of fun
everybody asked me, "do you think that'll run?"
Well I got it to run and I started to town
and a motorcycle cop aimed to chase me down
I knew he's close't, I could see in the mirror
I said "heck, bud, I'm still in second gear"
So I give it the gas, 'n' with m'double clutch
and I left him not a-makin' much (about a hunderd and four)
When the speedometer hit a hunderd and five
I felt it drop into overdrive
and then it started viberatin', shimmyin' 'n' goin' inta the boogie
Now its top speed I'd hate to try to tell
because I think it's faster'n jet propelled
Don't ask me to buy 'cause I won't sell my Hot Rod
but if you want to take a ride just drop me a line
If you got the money honey, I've got the time (we'll go hotroddin')
