NOW YOU’VE HEARD OF THE BEACH BOYS’ “FOUR-OH-NINE”
I GOT HER WHEN I FIRST TURNED SEVENTEEN,
TWIN HOLLEY CARBS AND A STEEL CRANK,
CHROME REVERSE WHEELS AND BLACKWALL HIDES,
THE CONSOLE AND BUCKETS ARE LIKE BRAND-NEW,
BIG ROUND TAIL-LIGHTS ON THE BACK END,
MY BEST FRIEND JAY HELPED ME WITH MY ‘63,
....LITTLE DEUCE COUPE, AND ALL OF THEIR KIND...
JAN & DEAN’S STILL RIDING ON THEIR SURF BOARD,
....AND I’M STILL CRUISING IN MY ‘63 FORD!
THAT XL FASTBACK WAS OH-SO-CLEAN...
WHITE VINYL TOP ON TURQUOISE BLUE,
YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT THAT 427 CAN DO!
STAND BACK NOW! THERE’S NO STOPPIN’ THIS TANK!
THIRTY-SEVEN-HUNDRED POUNDS TO DO HENRY PROUD...
IT’S BIG AND IT’S BAD, IT STANDS OUT IN A CROWD!
IT SAYS “GALAXIE-XL” RIGHT ON THE SIDE....
A “427” BIRD UPON BOTH FENDERS,
LIGHT ‘EM UP SON! IT’S A STONE MIND-BENDER!
AND THERE’S A BLONDE IN THERE, AND SHE LOOKS GOOD TOO!
IT’S GOT A BIG BACK SEAT, AND I’VE NEVER BEEN BORED...
‘CAUSE THE GIRLS SURE LIKE THAT ‘63 FORD!
(THAT’S THE VIEW THE IMPALAS ALWAYS HAVE MY FRIEND!)
AND WHAT KIND OF NAME IS “ZORA ARKUS” WHO?
THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS IS FOMOCO BLUE!!
HE’S GOT ONE IN RED, AND HE’S JUST LIKE ME...
TRADE THEM IN, YOU ASK? YOU’RE OUTTA YOUR GOURDS!
WE’LL DIE AND BE BURIED IN OUR ‘63 FORDS!!
