NO MONEY DOWN
As sung by Chuck Berry on numerous albums.

As I was motorvatin' – back in town,
I saw a Cadillac sign said – "No money down"
So I eased on my brakes – and I pulled in the drive,.
Gunned my motor twice – then I walked inside.
Dealer came to me – said, "Trade in your Fo'd,
And I'll put you in a car – that'll eat up the road.
Just tell me what you want – and then sign that line,
And I'll have it brought down to you – in a hour's time."

I'm gonna get me a car and I'll be headed on down the road.
Then I won't have to worry about that broken-down ragged Fo'd.

"Well, mister, I want a yellow convertible – Fo'd Eau De Ville(?)
With a continental spare – and a wire-chrome wheel.
I want power steerin' – and power brakes.
I want a powerful motor – with a jet off-take.
I want air condition; – I want automatic heat.
I want a full Murphy bed – in my back seat.
I want short-wave radio; – I want TV and a phone.
You know I gotta talk to my baby – when I'm ridin' alone.

Yes, I'm 'on' get that car and I'm gon' head on down the road.
Yeah, then I won't have to worry about that broken-down ragged Fo'd.

I want four carburetors – and two straight exhausts.
I'm burnin' aviation fuel – no matter what the cost.
I want railroad air horns – and a military spot,
And I want a five-year guarantee – on everything I got.
I want ten-dollar deductible; – I want twenty-dollar notes.
I want thirty-thousand liability; – that's all she wrote.

I got me a car and I'm headed on down the road. (No money down!)
I don't have to worry 'bout that broken-down ragged Fo'd.
