The Girls Want A Ride In My 49 Merc'

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I got a ’49 Merc, chopped and channeled low
Two-tone paint gleamin’, everywhere I go
Whitewalls rollin’ slow down the boulevard strip
Top down, radio loud, girls start to flip
They wave from the curb, poodle skirts in the breeze
Yellin’ “Hey, mister, give us a ride, please!”

[Chorus]
Girls want a ride, baby, girls want a ride
In my ’49 Merc, sittin’ side by side
Girls want a ride, hop in the back or front
My ’49 Merc, the one they all want
Girls want a ride — yeah, burnin’ higher!

[Verse 2]
Pull up to the drive-in, neon lights aglow
Car hop on skates brings the tray real slow
Girls from every car come runnin’ to see
Climbin’ in my Merc, three or four or three
Ponytails flyin’, laughter in the air
Merc full of pretty girls everywhere

[Chorus]
Girls want a ride, baby, girls want a ride
In my ’49 Merc, feelin’ the pride
Girls want a ride, cruise the night away
My ’49 Merc, they all wanna stay
Girls want a ride — yeah, burnin’ higher!

[Verse 3]
Flathead purrin’ smooth, custom pipes sing low
Moon up above, puttin’ on a show
They lean on my shoulder, whisper in my ear
“Drive us around, baby, keep us right here”
Ain’t the fastest car, but it’s got the style
Girls want a ride in my Merc all the while

[Chorus]
Girls want a ride, baby, girls want a ride
In my ’49 Merc, nationwide
Girls want a ride, Friday night dream
My ’49 Merc, livin’ the scene
Girls want a ride — yeah, burnin’ higher!

[Bridge – spoken over pounding piano]
Now the Chevys and Fords got shine and speed
But when the girls choose a ride, it’s my Merc they need
Chopped and low, custom from the ground
In my ’49 Merc, I’m the king of this town

[Piano solo – full Jerry Lee boogie-woogie madness]

[Final Chorus]
Girls want a ride, baby, girls want a ride
In my ’49 Merc, feelin’ the pride
Girls want a ride, top down, feelin’ fine
My ’49 Merc, every girl in line
Girls want a ride — yeah, burnin’ higher!
Yeah, girls want a ride… in my Merc forever!
