ow many hundred
Does it take
To grab me down
That Cadillac eight?
Cadillac eight
You get straight
Cadillac eight
You get straight
Grab me down
My Cadillac eight
If your back
Fools with me
I will run you
In the sea
If your Oldsmobile
Gets smart
I will beat you
From the start
If you Pontiac
Gives me pain
I will suck
You down the drain
If your Chevy
Touches me
I will run you
Up a tree
If your Dodge
With me gets wise
I will pass you
In the skies
If your Ford
Gives me a run
I'll pass you
Like the rising sun
If your Hudson
Messes around
I will beat you
Right on down
