Slow down, little Jaguar |
|
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford |
|
Ten miles stretch on an Indiana road |
|
T'was a sky blue Jaguar and a Thunderbird Ford |
|
Jaguar setting on ninety nine |
|
Tryin' to beat the Bird to the county line |
|
Just a half-a-mile from Newtonville |
|
There had a speed sign sitting at the top of the hill |
|
It said : "35 miles, and stay in line" |
|
But the Jaguar and Thunderbird never read the sign |
|
Slow down, little Jaguar |
|
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford |
|
Ludenville was a real small town |
|
Had a hundred and two |
|
And nine acres of ground |
|
Some stool pigeon put the sheriff wise |
|
Told him "Park down in Newtonville |
|
And catch 'em guys" |
|
Sheriff laid down, half hid in the ****s |
|
Parked for eight days, didn't nobody speed |
|
All of a sudden, dust rose on the road |
|
Said "Here come the Jaguar and Thunderbird Ford" |
|
Slow down, little Jaguar |
|
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford |
|
Sheriff doubled clutched second, put it in third |
|
Took right after the Jaguar and Thunderbird |
|
He knew he'd get a bonus and a big fat fine |
|
If he caught 'em 'fore they crossed that county line |
|
Sheriff never drove his car a hundred and flat |
|
But if he aimed to get 'em |
|
He'd have to do more than that |
|
Crest of the hill, he's about a mile behind |
|
There wasn't but two mor miles to the county line |
|
Slow down, little Jaguar |
|
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford |
|
Old Sheiff was countin' on the downward grade |
|
With the tall wind pu****n', he had it made |
|
Thunderbird saw the Jaguar gainin' speed |
|
And waved "Goodbye, Jaguar" and pulled in the lead |
|
Jaguar said "You ain't won the race yet" |
|
And pulled back around the Bird like a sabre jet |
|
Sheriff's front bumper was a yard behind |
|
When the T-Bird, Jaguar crossed the line |
|
Slow down little Jaguar, |
|
Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford |
