I made up my mind
I was gonna find
Me some kind of deal
On a brand new set of wheels
You ought to see the short I bought
Down at the used car lot
The salesman had style
And a crocodile smile
And a polyester suit
And alligator shoes, to boot
He's got it made in the shade
Making lemons into lemonade
Was he after my money?
I don't think so, honey
I just know what I know
He talked fast, I listened slow
But I got a real good deal
On a brand new used automobile
Now I'm cruising 'round town
With my top dropped down
And my shocks worn in
And my tires worn thin
And I'm burning fossil fuel
And I'm looking like a real cool fool
I got my fo' do' smoking
I got my fo' do' smoking
Hell, naw, I ain't joking
I got my fo' do' smoking
You ought to see the ride I bought
Down at the bruised
I mean the abused
I don't mean nothing but the used car lot
