Hot Rod Race - Arkie Shibley/Betty Hutton[00:00:00]
Now me and my wife[00:00:14]
And my brother joe[00:00:16]
Took off in my ford[00:00:17]
From san pedro[00:00:18]
We hadn't much gas[00:00:19]
The tires were low[00:00:20]
But the doggone ford[00:00:21]
Could really go[00:00:22]
Now[00:00:24]
Along about the middle[00:00:25]
Of the night[00:00:26]
We were rippin' along[00:00:27]
Like white folks might[00:00:28]
When a mercury behind[00:00:29]
He blinked his lights[00:00:30]
And he honked his horn[00:00:31]
And he flew outside[00:00:32]
We had twin pipes[00:00:34]
And a columbia butt[00:00:35]
You people may think[00:00:37]
That I'm in a rut[00:00:37]
But to you folks[00:00:39]
Who don't dig the jive[00:00:39]
That's two carburetors[00:00:40]
And an overdrive[00:00:41]
We made grease spots[00:00:43]
Outta many good town[00:00:44]
And left the cops heads[00:00:46]
Spinnin' round and round[00:00:47]
They wouldn't chase[00:00:48]
They'd run and hide[00:00:49]
But me and that mercury[00:00:50]
Stayed side by side[00:00:51]
Now we were ford men[00:00:54]
And we likely knew[00:00:55]
That we would race[00:00:56]
Until somethin' blew[00:00:57]
And we[00:00:58]
Thought it over[00:00:59]
Now[00:01:00]
Wouldn't you[00:01:00]
I looked down[00:01:03]
At my lovely bride[00:01:03]
Her face was blue[00:01:04]
I thought she'd died[00:01:05]
We left streaks through towns[00:01:06]
About forty feet wide[00:01:07]
But me and that mercury[00:01:08]
Stayed side by side[00:01:09]
My brother was pale[00:01:24]
He said he was sick[00:01:25]
He said he was just[00:01:26]
A nervous wreck[00:01:27]
But why should I worry[00:01:28]
For what the heck[00:01:29]
Me and that mercury[00:01:30]
Was still[00:01:31]
Neck and neck[00:01:32]
Now on through the deserts[00:01:33]
We did glide[00:01:35]
A flyin' low[00:01:36]
And a flyin' wide[00:01:37]
Me an' that mercury[00:01:38]
Was a takin' a ride[00:01:39]
And we stayed exactly[00:01:40]
Side by side[00:01:41]
I looked in my mirror[00:01:56]
And I saw somethin' comin'[00:01:57]
I thought it was a plane[00:01:58]
By the way it was a runnin'[00:01:59]
It was a hummin' along[00:02:00]
At a terrible pace[00:02:01]
And I knew right then[00:02:02]
It was the end of the race[00:02:03]
When it flew by us[00:02:05]
I turned the other way[00:02:06]
The guy in the mercury[00:02:07]
Had nothin' to say[00:02:08]
For it was a kid[00:02:09]
In a hopped up model a[00:02:10]
