(Verse 1)
Hey you stealin my car, keep on driving it fast.
You’re not gonna get far, without a pocketful of cash
Sixty-five dollars for plates, sky high insurance rates,
Flats almost every day, take it away.
(Bridge 1)
You know I work hard every day ain’t got a nickel to my name,
Cause half the time its running and the other half its lame.
Mechanics see me coming; yeah they all know me by name,
I don’t know how to thank you it’s been driving me insane.
(Guitar solo)
(Verse 2)
Hey you stealing my car, you better strap yourself in the seat.
You got a gas guzzling dinosaur, you stole a beast.
(Bridge 2)
I used to spend my weekends walkin
Cause the car was in the shop.
The sittin and the waitin for the bills would never stop.
It’s just the fifth transmission why it works I’ll never know,
I don’t know how to thank you just keep going, going go.
(Guitar solo)
Hey you stealin my car, drive it under a truck.
Do whatever you want, you silly schmuck.
