Tonart: E major•
Verse 1
G
E
Oh yeah, I had to be a hot rod
Mercury, a 1951
With a sun visor and a fender skirt,
A
B
boy I had her underslung
E
Had a little chain around the license plate,
A
suicide knob on the steering wheel
E
Had a little rip in the front seat cover,
A
B
E
but that weren't no big deal
Captain shined up like a new penny,
all dressed up so neat
She was a classic and more, with a four in the floor,
B
a fifth under the front seat
E
Had a straight pipe running through the muffler,
A
with a hideaway toggle switch
And that old
E
Mercury purred just like a kitten
A
B
E
Until I hit that switch
Then you better pull down your windows
A
And lock up all your doors
E
Believe it or not for twenty city blocks
Hear that
Mercury roar
Believe it or not, between these city blocks,
Down in
Lameesa,
Texas, right on the courthouse square
All the guys and all of the chicks,
A
B
well, they hang out down there
E
The gals would go one way around the
A
square and the guys around the other
E
When we would meet, we would slow way down,
A
B
E
check out one another.
And when I met that special girl,
E
I'd reach down, trip that old toggle switch,
A
B
E
and make that old mercury roar.
Make that mercury roar,
A
E
make that mercury roar.
I'd reach down, trip that old toggle switch,
B
E
B
E
A
and make that old mercury roll
E
A
B
E
If I could just go back to the fifties and
the things would be the same
You see me hangin' out at the
A
B
Skyview drive -in with my
Patricia
Jane
E
I used to do the music on the
jukebox down at the
E
But one more time I'd like to trip that
A
B
switch an d make that old
A
E
Make that mercury roar, make that mercury roar
I'd reach down and trip that old toggle switch
A
B
E
Make that mercury roar
Make that mercury roar,
A
E
make that mercury roar
I'd reach down, shift that old toggle switch,
A
B
E
make that old burqa re -roll
Yeah, go down to the sky, be drivin'
Have a little of that fried chicken
Do a little sparkin'
I think you call it neckin' nowadays
Ooh, got me a suicide knob
on my steering wheel
Got a rose in it, a wife wouldn't
E
let me put a naked girl in it
