Put it in 1st and then i punch it, listen to the engine roar.
Laid a patch of rubber for a block and 1/2 when i push it on down to the floor.
Do i roll? well i guess-thunder express.
I got an ls7- 454, with an isky cam.
I got a voodoo head on the swifter shifter, when i pop the clutch, wham!
Do i roll? well i guess- thunder express. (run it home boys).
Pulled up beside a bad mustanger, unh-huh, no race no!
Pulled up beside a bad mustanger. i got nothing to fear, when i plunk my magic twanger!
Amx and gto and cougar ain't touched me yet.
Duster 6-pack, sprang little motor, barracuda? no sweat!
Ain't nothing outrun my high-powered chevy corvette. (bring it home wayne).
Pulled into second when i put my foot down on the ax-cellerator.
Pulled into second when i put my foot down on the ax-cellerator.
I said bye bye . . . see ya later alligator.
I'm talkin' bout thunder, thunder express.
I'm talkin' bout thunder, thunder express.
I'm talkin' bout thunder, thunder express.
I'm talkin' bout thunder, thunder express.
Do i roll' well i guess, thunder express.
Do i roll' well i guess, thunder express.
Do i roll' well i guess, thunder express.
