Welcome the first lady to try and qualify in an NHRA-dragster competition ~ Shirley Muldowney!

Feels so real

Crushing the steering wheel

How many times

Must we toe this line

Halting me

Is a fantasy

Cha-cha! call her cha-cha!

What's drag racing coming to?

How many times must you be told

There's nowhere that we don't go

she's got good traction!

I suggest you find a seat in the grandstands, Because you don't want to miss this!

She's just here wants

What she wants to do

I wonder if Shirley's got in her to hold that throttle down

kills your joke

as she's burning smoke

Shirley Muldowney is pulling ahead... and she Takes the red light

And you will find

Crossing the finish line

Shirley Muldowney has just set a new track record!

Satisfaction!

How much times must you be told

There's nowhere that we don't go

She's got good traction!

What's a beautiful girl like you doing racing in a place like this?

Winning.

Winning. winning. winning. winning.

The lady got through it

Winning.

What's drag racing coming to?

There's nowhere that we don't go

What's a beautiful girl like you doing racing in a place like this?

Winning.

Winning. winning. winning. winning.
