Verse 2
G 
 (G major) 
Well Speed Ball, the wild motorcyclist,
Rode his motorcycle very fast
With a twist of the wrist he'd
give it the gas
There wasn't nothin'
on the road he couldn't pass

Verse 3

He had a big black leather jacket

With an eagle on the back

& zippers up the sleeves

And when he rode down the road

His long black greasy duck tails

just blowed in the breeze

Every

night he'd rev up his motor
G 
And  (G major) drag down the main street of town
C 
He had  (C major) plenty of nerve,
he'd swerve on a curve

He loved to  (D major) run those pedestrians
G 
down  (G major) (Aaaaaa!)

Verse 5
G 
 (G major) {Spoken}
Look out here comes that happy

Say how do you know he's happy?
Say by the bugs on his teeth.
Watch out here he comes.

Verse 6
G 
Well Speed had  (G major) a girl name
of Sugar Beet
Sayin' my she was
a lovely child
When she'd sit back of Speed
on the buddy seat
You know it would drive
old Speed Ball wild

G 
{Spoken} And she'd say, 'Come  (G major) 
on baby,
Say let's get some kicks'
'So let's make it, So let's take off,
So let's scratch man'
'Say come on cool daddy,
Let's hear them tires screech
On that concrete, Yeah Yeah Yeah'
Oh when she talked that trash
to ol' Speed like that,
Say it'd just tear him up and he'd just
oh lose his mind
And he'd say, 'Hang on Baby'
And he'd twist that
handlebar (Brrrwow)
Take off and burn that road for half
Ab 
a mile  (A flat major) (Brrrrrrrrrrrrr)

Verse 8

siren scream
And he knew he was in for some trouble

Verse 9
Ab 
So he gave it the gas  (A flat major) and watched
the speedometer
Needle say a hundred and ten
And then he looked back

Ab 
outrun the police  (A flat major) again
Db 
Well he  (D flat major) thought he was

Ab 
 (A flat major) {Spoken} Whoa

Verse 11
Ab 
 (A flat major) 
it was terrible,
when the police found them
Next mornin' they was both
hangin' up in the trees
That motocycle was tore all to pieces
But you know Speed Ball & Sugar Beet
They weren't hurt much,
No they wasn't
Say he just broke his arm in seven places
And all it did to her was smear her lipstick...
G 
Ab 
All over the  (G major) highway.  (A flat major) But you
know it wasn't serious
And when they got out of the hospital
They learned their lession
And from now on they're gonna
play it safe
They gonna take that Greyhound
And leave the drivin' to that
smiley cat on t.v.
And everything is gonna be cool, Yeah

Verse 12
Ab 
Whoa, And that's the story of Speed  (A flat major) 
Ball
The wild motorcyclist,
don't ride his motor no more
No Speed Ball,
the wild motorcyclist
Done found a better way to go
