As I was motivatin'
Back in town
I saw a Cadillac sign

Sayin' "No Money Down"
So I eased on my brakes
And I pulled in the drive

Gunned my motor twice
Then I walked inside
Dealer came to me

Said "Trade in you Ford
And I'll put you in a car
That'll eat up the road

Just tell me what you want
And then sign on that line
And I'll have it brought down to you

In a hour's time"

I'm gonna get me a car

And I'll be headed on down the road
Then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy Ford

"Well Mister I want a yellow convertible
Four - door de Ville
With a Continental spare

And wire chrome wheels
I want power steering
And power brakes

I want a powerful motor
With a jet off - take
I want air condition

I want automatic heat
And I want a full Murphy bed
In my back seat

I want short - wave radio
I want TV and a phone
You know I gotta talk to my baby

When I'm ridin' alone"

Yes I'm gonna get that car

And I'm gonna head on down the road
Yeah, then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy Ford


"I want four carburetors
And two straight exhausts

I'm burnin' aviation fuel
No matter what the cost
I want railroad air horns

And a military spot
And I want a five - year guarantee
On everything I got

I want ten - dollar deductible
I want twenty dollar notes
I want thirty thousand liability"

That's all she wrote

I got me a car

And I'm headed on down the road
No money down
I don't have to worry

About that broken - down, raggedy Ford
