I got me a deuce and a quarter, babe
She will ride you right
Pick you up 'bout half past nine
We can ride all night
Came up from the country, baby
City's where I stay
Got me a deuce and a quarter, babe
That's all I got to say
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Big block, she'll do all the work
So we can ride in style
Leather on those bucket seats
Carpet, double pile
Chrome that takes the moonlight on
Sea to shining sea
You can hear those glass pipes rumble
To the Statue of Liberty
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Now, when I first got outta high school
I drove an old farm truck
All the girls they walk right by me
Didn't even say good luck
Now, I ride in my 225
They all wanna be my friend
I'll pick you up later tonight now, babe
If you can wait till then
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Just about every cat I know
Wants him a Coupe de Ville
I pay half the price and get twice as nice
And they still tryin' to pay that bill
Now, I can't say everything‟s ok
Ridin' in my car
But I got me a deuce and a quarter babe
She goes like a shootin' star
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
