Lyrics

As I was motivating back towards town  
I seen a Cadillac sign, it said no money down  
So I eased on the brake, and I pulled up there in the drive  
I gunned up the motor and then I walked on inside  
The dealer came down and said man trade that Ford  
I can put you in a car that will eat up the road  
Now you just tell me what you want  
And then sign on this line  
I'll have it brought right to your house  
In about an hour's time  
  
I'm gonna get me a car  
And I'm gonna head on down the road  
Ain't gonna have to worry no more  
Bout that broke down raggity Ford  
  
Well mister I want a yellow convertible a four door deville  
Man I want a continnetial spare and some white chrome wheels  
And power steering and uh a power brakes  
And a powerful motor with a jet off take  
Some nice cool air condition and some nice warm heat  
And a big old feather bedroom pillow in the back seat  
I want a ship to shore radio a colour tv and a phone  
So I can talk to my honey while I'm riding alone  
  
I wanna get me a car yeah  
And head on down the road  
I don't have to worry no more  
Bout that broke down raggity Ford  
  
And also I want four carburetors and I want two straight exhaust  
I want a nuclear reactor and I don't care what it cost  
I want a railroad air horn I want a phycadellic strobe spot  
And I want a 15 year guarantee on everything that I got  
I want a two dollar deductible and I want a 20 dollar note  
I want a 150, 000 dollars liability and that's all she wrote  
  
I gonna get me a car  
And head on down the road  
I don't wanna have to worry no more  
Bout that broke down raggity Ford
