Anyone remember the lyrics from a late 50s song titled 'Transfusion"?

The one by Nervous Norvus from 1956?

Oh yeah, it's one of those Dr Demento classics!
It's here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbhvZ2y1V80
And here's what came off the lyrics page:

Zoom
Tooling down the highway doing 79
I'm a twin pipe papa and I'm feelin' fine
Hey man dig that was that a red stop sign-
Transfusion transfusion
I'm just a solid mess of contusions
Never never never gonna speed again
Slip the blood to me Bud

I jump in my rod about a quarter to nine
I gotta make a date with that chick of mine
I cross the center line man you gotta make time-
Transfusion transfusion
Oh man I got the cotton pickin' convolutions
Never never never gonna speed again
Shoot the juice to me Bruce

My foot's on the throttle and it's made of lead
But I'm a fast ridding daddy with a real cool head
I'ma gonna pass a truck on the hill ahead-
Transfusion transfusion
My red corpsuckles are in mass confusion
Never never never gonna speed again
Pass the crimson to me Jimson

I took a little drink and I'm feelin' right
I can fly right over everything everything in sight
There's a slow poking cat I'm gonna pass him on the right-
Transfusion transfusion
I'm a real gone paleface and that's no illusion
I'ma never never never gonna speed again
Pass the claret to me Barrett
A rollin' down the mountain on a rainy day
Oh when you see me coming better start to pray
I'ma cuttin' up the road and I'm the boss all the way-
Transfusion transfusion
Oh doc pardon me for this crazy intrusion
I'm never never never gonna speed again
Pump the fluid in me Louie

I'm burning up the highway early this morn
I'm passing everybody oh nothing but corn
Man outa my way I don't drive with my horn-
Transfusion transfusion
Oh nurse I'm gonna make a new resolution
I'm never never never gonna speed again
Put a gallon in me Alan

Oh barnyard drivers are found in two classes
Line crowding hogs and speeding jackasses
So remember to slow down today
Hey daddy-o
Make that type O huh
Atta-boy

We had a 78 rpm record of that song. It was funny. I think the B side was DIG.

I was 8 when this song came out. It was my favorite song at the time. My parents hated it.
Slip the juice to me, Bruce.....

I'm thinking that maybe this song had more of an influence on my young life than I realised: I regularly donate (type O) blood or plasma, my last job was related to safe driving, and I picked a husband whose name is referred to in the song. LOL

Nice to be reminded of this ancient song.

I believe there were sound effects in it as well!

Yes, you're all correct. The sound effects of screeching brakes and a crash were also used on Jan and Dean's "Dead Man's Curve," or one of those later car-crash songs.
