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 a 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

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

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,
