Emerson) -Man, I'm gonna tell you my story -Go on and tell about it, go on and tell about it more -Just what I've been doing -What you've been doing, Ry ? -Well, you know I used to be particular about the womens that I picked -Aha! -Yeah! They used to be tender, lean and tall, that's all -But the way things has been going, I'll take 'em knock-kneed and bow-legged -What ? -I'll even take 'em bald! Man. I'll tell you why -Please, tell me why! Every woman I know is crazy 'bout an automobile Every woman I know is crazy 'bout an automobile And here I am standing with nothing but rubber heels. He-hey, every woman I know, crazy 'bout an automobile Oh, every woman I know, crazy 'bout an automobile And here I am standing with nothing but rubber heels. Now look'it here! They say, walking women home is a thing of the past Women want to ride and ride around in class Some like Cadillacs, boys, some like Fords Some like anything as long as it rolls. Crazy 'bout an automobile [That's right] And here I am standing with nothing but rubber heels Well, every woman I know she's crazy 'bout an automobile Every woman I know is crazy 'bout an automobile And here I am standing with nothing but rubber heels One more thing I wanna tell you Said, riding and loving just can't be beat, You and your woman in your own front seat. Now, she can play with your keys, shift the gears, Turn on your radio just loud enough to hear. Now, she can turn up the heat and flip on your fan, And then you start rolling just as fast as you can. Crazy 'bout an automobile And just here I am standing with nothing but rubber heels Man, when I get some money I just got to get me some kind of automobile You don't seem like the women in this town just don't pay no attention to ya 'less you're driving Look at that big, fine Buick over there Oh, I like that one Yeah, now, looks like somebody left the keys in it Oh, let's take a ride Nothing but rubber heels |
