First gear OW!

First gear OH!

I'm overlord in a my-m-my-m M-Mustang Ford OW!

Can I ask you a question?

Can I bear the reply?

First gear... second chance...

it's the third time's charm for new romance, oh...

I wanna brake it with you.

Hey, does it feel alright now?

Hey, does it look good too?

Hey, does it feel alright and does it look good--good

to you?

OH... First gear... I feel alright, I say all my

friends gonna right tonight.

Headlights... can't you see that it's all green lights

for you and me?

I'm fired up... the engine is ruinning.

All my charm and all my cunning GIRL... I wanna brake

it with you.

Hey, does it feel alright now?

Hey, does it look good too?

Hey, does it feel alright and does it look good...

good to you?

I've got to shake shake shake.

I've got to get down whatever it takes.

I've got to shake shake shake.

I've got to get down whatever it takes.

My my my my Mustang Ford.

My my my M-M-Mustang Ford.

My my my my Mustang Ford.

My my my my Mustang Ford.

My my my M-M-Mustang Ford.

My my my my M-Mustang Ford.

My my my my Mustang Ford.

My my my my Mustang Ford.

Hey, does it feel alright now?

Hey, does it look good too?

Hey, does it feel alright and does it look good...

good to you?

I've got to shake shake shake.

I've got to get down whatever it takes.

I've got to shake shake shake.

I've got to get down whatever it takes.
