Verse 1
Bb
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
One day I devised myself a plan
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired

But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired

C
F
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
Bb
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
C
F
Especially if I strung it out over several years
The first day I got me a fuel pump
I got me an engine and a trunk
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Bb
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
Verse 3
Bb
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
The transmission was a fifty three
a seventy three
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
from an adapter kit
C
F
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
Bb
We had two on the left and one on the right
Verse 4
and when we got through
About that time my wife walked out
that she had her doubts
So we drove up town just to get the tags
But up there at the court house,
they didn't laugh

'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
Chorus 2
I'm gonna ride around in style
C
F
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
Interlude 1
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on
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
