One Piece at a Time - Peter Principles[00:00:00]

Well I left Kentucky back in '49[00:00:13]

An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line[00:00:15]

The first year they had me[00:00:18]

Puttin' wheels on Cadillacs[00:00:19]

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by[00:00:22]

And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry[00:00:24]

'Cause I always wanted me one[00:00:27]

That was long and black[00:00:29]

One day I devised myself a plan[00:00:32]

That should be the envy of most any man[00:00:34]

I'd sneak it out of there[00:00:36]

In a lunchbox in my hand[00:00:38]

Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired[00:00:41]

But I figured I'd have it all[00:00:43]

By the time I retired[00:00:45]

I'd have me a car worth[00:00:46]

At least a hundred grand[00:00:48]

I'd get it one piece at a time[00:00:50]

And it wouldn't cost me a dime[00:00:52]

You'll know it's me[00:00:55]

When I come through your town[00:00:56]

I'm gonna ride around in style [00:01:00]

I'm gonna drive everybody wild[00:01:02]

'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round[00:01:04]

So the very next day[00:01:10]

When I punched in[00:01:11]

With my big lunchbox[00:01:12]

And with help from my friends[00:01:13]

I left that day[00:01:15]

With a lunch box full of gears[00:01:15]

I've never considered myself a thief[00:01:19]

But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece[00:01:21]

Especially if I strung it[00:01:24]

Out over several years[00:01:25]

The first day I got me a fuel pump[00:01:29]

And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk[00:01:31]

Then I got me a transmission[00:01:33]

And all of the chrome[00:01:35]

The little things I could get in my big lunchbox[00:01:38]

Like nuts an' bolts [00:01:40]

And all four shocks[00:01:42]

But the big stuff we snuck out[00:01:43]

In my buddy's mobile home[00:01:45]

Now up to now my plan went all right[00:01:48]

'Til we tried to put it all together one night[00:01:50]

And that's when we noticed[00:01:52]

That something was definitely wrong[00:01:54]

The transmission was a '53[00:01:57]

And the motor turned out to be a '73[00:01:59]

And when we tried to put[00:02:02]

In the bolts all the holes were gone[00:02:03]

So we drilled it out so that it would fit[00:02:07]

And with a little bit of help[00:02:09]

With an adapter kit[00:02:10]

We had that engine runnin' just like a song[00:02:11]

Now the headlight' was another sight[00:02:16]

We had two on the left and one on the right[00:02:18]

But when we pulled out the switch[00:02:21]

All three of 'em come on[00:02:22]

The back end looked kinda funny too[00:02:26]

But we put it together[00:02:28]

And when we got through[00:02:29]

Well that's when we noticed[00:02:30]

That we only had one tail-fin[00:02:32]

About that time my wife walked out[00:02:36]

And I could see in her eyes[00:02:38]

That she had her doubts[00:02:39]

But she opened the door and said [00:02:40]

"Honey take me for a spin"[00:02:42]

So we drove up town just to get the tags[00:02:45]

And I headed her right on down main drag[00:02:47]

I could hear everybody laughin'[00:02:50]

For blocks around[00:02:51]

But up there at the court house[00:02:54]

They didn't laugh[00:02:56]

'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff[00:02:57]

And when they got through[00:02:59]

The title weighed sixty pounds[00:03:00]

I got it one piece at a time[00:03:04]

And it didn't cost me a dime[00:03:06]

You'll know it's me[00:03:08]

When I come through your town[00:03:10]

I'm gonna ride around in style [00:03:13]

I'm gonna drive everybody wild[00:03:15]

'Cause I'll have the only one there is around[00:03:18]

Uh yow Red Ryder this is the cotton mouth[00:03:25]

In the Psycho-Billy Cadillac come on [00:03:27]

Huh this is the cotton mouth[00:03:31]

And negatory on the cost of[00:03:34]

This mow-chine there Red Ryder[00:03:36]

You might say I went right up to the factory[00:03:39]

And picked it up it's cheaper that way[00:03:41]

Uh what model is it [00:03:44]

Well it's a '49 '50 [00:03:45]

'51 '52 '53 '54 '55 '56[00:03:48]

'57 '58' 59' automobile[00:03:52]

It's a '60 '61 [00:03:56]

'62 '63 '64 '65 '66 '67[00:03:58]

'68 '69 '70 automobile[00:04:01]
