| Well, I left Kentucky back in '49 |
| An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line |
| The first year they had me puttin' wheels |
| On cadillacs |
| Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by |
| And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry |
| 'Cause I always wanted me one |
| That was long and black |
| One day I devised myself a plan |
| That should be the envy of most any man |
| I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox |
| In my hand |
| Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired |
| But I figured I'd have it all |
| By the time I retired |
| I'd have me a car worth at least |
| A hundred grand |
| I'd get it one piece at a time |
| And it wouldn't cost me a dime |
| You'll know it's me |
| When I come through your town |
| I'm gonna ride around in style |
| I'm gonna drive everybody wild |
| 'Cause I'll have the only one there |
| Is a round |
| So the very next day when I punched in |
| With my big lunchbox and |
| With help from my friends |
| I left that day with a lunch box |
| Full of gears |
| I've never considered myself a thief |
| But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece |
| Especially if I strung it out over |
| Several years |
| The first day I got me a fuel pump |
| And the next day I got me an |
| Engine and a trunk |
| Then I got me a transmission |
| And all of the chrome |
| The little things I could get |
| In my big lunchbox |
| Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks |
| But the big stuff we snuck out |
| In my buddy's mobile home |
| Now, up to now my plan went all right |
| 'Til we tried to put it all |
| Together one night |
| And that's when we noticed that something |
| Was definitely wrong |
| The transmission was a '53 |
| And the motor turned out to be a '73 |
| And when we tried to put in the bolts |
| All the holes were gone |
| So we drilled it out so that it would fit |
| And with a little bit of help |
| With an A-daptor kit |
| We had that engine runnin' just like a song |
| Now the headlight' was another sight |
| We had two on the left and one on the right |
| But when we pulled out the switch |
| All three of 'em come on |
| The back end looked kinda funny too |
| But we put it together and when we got thru |
| Well, that's when we noticed that |
| We only had one tail-fin |
| About that time my wife walked out |
| And I could see in her eyes |
| That she had her doubts |
| But she opened the door and said |
| "Honey, take me for a spin." |
| So we drove up town just to get the tags |
| And I headed her right on down main drag |
| I could hear everybody laughin' |
| For blocks around |
| But up there at the court house |
| They didn't laugh |
| 'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff |
| And when they got through |
| The title weighed sixty pounds |
| I got it one piece at a time |
| And it didn't cost me a dime |
| You'll know it's me |
| When I come through your town |
| I'm gonna ride around in style |
| I'm gonna drive everybody wild |
| 'Cause I'll have the only one there |
| Is around |
| Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER |
| This is the COTTON MOUTH |
| In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on |
| Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH |
| And negatory on the cost of this |
| Mow-chine there RED RYDER |
| You might say I went right up to the factory |
| And picked it up, it's cheaper that way |
| Ugh! what model is it? |
| Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, |
| '53, '54, '55, '56 |
| '57, '58' 59' automobile |
| It's a '60, '61, '62, '63 |
| '64, '65, '66, '67 |
| '68, '69, '70 automobile. |
