《Hot Rod Race》歌词

[00:00:00] Hot Rod Race - Arkie Shibley/Betty Hutton

[00:00:14] Now me and my wife

[00:00:16] And my brother joe

[00:00:17] Took off in my ford

[00:00:18] From san pedro

[00:00:19] We hadn't much gas

[00:00:20] The tires were low

[00:00:21] But the doggone ford

[00:00:22] Could really go

[00:00:24] Now

[00:00:25] Along about the middle

[00:00:26] Of the night

[00:00:27] We were rippin' along

[00:00:28] Like white folks might

[00:00:29] When a mercury behind

[00:00:30] He blinked his lights

[00:00:31] And he honked his horn

[00:00:32] And he flew outside

[00:00:34] We had twin pipes

[00:00:35] And a columbia butt

[00:00:37] You people may think

[00:00:37] That I'm in a rut

[00:00:39] But to you folks

[00:00:39] Who don't dig the jive

[00:00:40] That's two carburetors

[00:00:41] And an overdrive

[00:00:43] We made grease spots

[00:00:44] Outta many good town

[00:00:46] And left the cops heads

[00:00:47] Spinnin' round and round

[00:00:48] They wouldn't chase

[00:00:49] They'd run and hide

[00:00:50] But me and that mercury

[00:00:51] Stayed side by side

[00:00:54] Now we were ford men

[00:00:55] And we likely knew

[00:00:56] That we would race

[00:00:57] Until somethin' blew

[00:00:58] And we

[00:00:59] Thought it over

[00:01:00] Now

[00:01:00] Wouldn't you

[00:01:03] I looked down

[00:01:03] At my lovely bride

[00:01:04] Her face was blue

[00:01:05] I thought she'd died

[00:01:06] We left streaks through towns

[00:01:07] About forty feet wide

[00:01:08] But me and that mercury

[00:01:09] Stayed side by side

[00:01:24] My brother was pale

[00:01:25] He said he was sick

[00:01:26] He said he was just

[00:01:27] A nervous wreck

[00:01:28] But why should I worry

[00:01:29] For what the heck

[00:01:30] Me and that mercury

[00:01:31] Was still

[00:01:32] Neck and neck

[00:01:33] Now on through the deserts

[00:01:35] We did glide

[00:01:36] A flyin' low

[00:01:37] And a flyin' wide

[00:01:38] Me an' that mercury

[00:01:39] Was a takin' a ride

[00:01:40] And we stayed exactly

[00:01:41] Side by side

[00:01:56] I looked in my mirror

[00:01:57] And I saw somethin' comin'

[00:01:58] I thought it was a plane

[00:01:59] By the way it was a runnin'

[00:02:00] It was a hummin' along

[00:02:01] At a terrible pace

[00:02:02] And I knew right then

[00:02:03] It was the end of the race

[00:02:05] When it flew by us

[00:02:06] I turned the other way

[00:02:07] The guy in the mercury

[00:02:08] Had nothin' to say

[00:02:09] For it was a kid

[00:02:10] In a hopped up model a
