|
| [00:11.07] |
Well, I left Kentucky back in '49 |
| [00:16.11] |
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line |
| [00:18.55] |
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs |
| [00:21.64] |
|
| [00:23.10] |
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by |
| [00:25.86] |
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry |
| [00:28.13] |
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black. |
| [00:32.50] |
|
| [00:33.58] |
One day I devised myself a plan |
| [00:35.76] |
That should be the envy of most any man |
| [00:38.08] |
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand |
| [00:42.16] |
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired |
| [00:45.26] |
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired |
| [00:47.16] |
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand. |
| [00:50.52] |
|
| [00:51.07] |
CHORUS |
| [00:51.71] |
I'd get it one piece at a time |
| [00:53.66] |
And it wouldn't cost me a dime |
| [00:56.12] |
You'll know it's me when I come through your town |
| [00:59.29] |
I'm gonna ride around in style |
| [01:03.07] |
I'm gonna drive everybody wild |
| [01:05.80] |
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round. |
| [01:09.09] |
|
| [01:10.63] |
So the very next day when I punched in |
| [01:13.71] |
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends |
| [01:16.18] |
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears |
| [01:18.47] |
Now, I never considered myself a thief |
| [01:23.71] |
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece |
| [01:25.35] |
Especially if I strung it out over several years. |
| [01:28.80] |
|
| [01:29.87] |
The first day I got me a fuel pump |
| [01:34.28] |
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk |
| [01:35.58] |
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome |
| [01:39.24] |
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox |
| [01:42.24] |
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks |
| [01:44.69] |
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home. |
| [01:47.72] |
|
| [01:49.34] |
Now, up to now my plan went all right |
| [01:51.94] |
'Til we tried to put it all together one night |
| [01:53.98] |
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong. |
| [01:57.34] |
|
| [01:58.45] |
The transmission was a '53 |
| [02:01.40] |
And the motor turned out to be a '73 |
| [02:03.81] |
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone. |
| [02:07.89] |
|
| [02:09.16] |
So we drilled it out so that it would fit |
| [02:11.09] |
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit |
| [02:13.08] |
We had that engine runnin' just like a song |
| [02:15.90] |
Now the headlight' was another sight |
| [02:20.06] |
We had two on the left and one on the right |
| [02:22.49] |
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on. |
| [02:26.57] |
|
| [02:27.31] |
The back end looked kinda funny too |
| [02:29.92] |
But we put it together and when we got thru |
| [02:32.30] |
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin |
| [02:36.40] |
About that time my wife walked out |
| [02:39.46] |
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts |
| [02:41.70] |
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin." |
| [02:45.60] |
|
| [02:46.12] |
So we drove up town just to get the tags |
| [02:49.57] |
And I headed her right on down main drag |
| [02:51.29] |
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around |
| [02:53.65] |
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh |
| [02:58.78] |
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff |
| [03:00.76] |
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds. |
| [03:04.55] |
|
| [03:05.04] |
CHORUS |
| [03:05.58] |
I got it one piece at a time |
| [03:07.47] |
And it didn't cost me a dime |
| [03:10.00] |
You'll know it's me when I come through your town |
| [03:12.83] |
I'm gonna ride around in style |
| [03:17.43] |
I'm gonna drive everybody wild |
| [03:19.61] |
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around. |
| [03:23.52] |
|
| [03:24.91] |
(Spoken) Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER |
| [03:27.93] |
This is the COTTON MOUTH |
| [03:29.91] |
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on |
| [03:34.28] |
Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH |
| [03:34.95] |
|
| [03:36.39] |
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER |
| [03:40.74] |
You might say I went right up to the factory |
| [03:44.15] |
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way |
| [03:51.75] |
Ugh!, what model is it? |
| [03:55.07] |
