Power windows, Whoo, is a pretty fancy car Hey, you're a pretty fancy
If you did manage to get out of the drive-in resturant being maimed There was a sporting event place at the traffic light Remember, all of two characters Mr. Businessman who drove a family sedan with black-wall tires Automatic Seated next to him in a 1941 primer coated Ford With it's end 2 inches off the ground cans for mufflers With his back to the window, his left arm draped over the steering wheel His right hand gripped onto the lever A on lips sat THE KID

He used to it in here, right? And occationally he would turn to his friends on the and say a drag? See, and the picked it up The light The light changes to amber and Mr. Businessman decides to get daring He pulls the automatic transmission down low He puts one on the brake Still holding the on the brake, in order to get that extra fast start He pulls the automatic transmission down low And pushes down on the accelerator five The car is internally He knows, he knows, he knows he's gonna have to have another job not gonna let THE KID show him up The changes to green, Mr. Businessman is off
Looks at the speedometer, 80, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98 an hour out the window and The Kids not even there You know what's
He looks in the rear view mirror and The Kids still at the corner He never anybody He just sits there and scares the out of them
