CHORUS:
Take me for a ride in the car, car.
Take me for a ride in the car, car.
Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride in the car, car.
[spoken] Go get em, grandpa!
Take me for a ride in your Stanley Steamer?
Bout as bad as riding in the Locomobile with the eight wheels, isn9t it?
I9d rather ride in the Model T pickup with the bronze hubcaps & the beaver
tail.
Twenty-three skidoo! Uh-huh!
[Someone make engine sounds of a model T-era car starting up & backfiring]
CHORUS:
[spoken] College grad-u-ate!
Take me for a ride in your Mack truck.
Take me fro a ride in your truck, mack.
Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride in your Mack truck...mack!
CHORUS: [repeat that verse two times and the regular chorus once. Someone
make
engine sounds over it of a more modern car trying to start.]
REPEAT REGULAR CHORUS ALL:
[spoken] Well, wait a minute! Here come one now, daughter. See if you can9t
get this
here feller. [Someone make sound of a high-performance engine slowing down &
screeching to a stop.]
[sung in a sultry fashion]
Take me for a ride in your car, car.
Take me for a ride in your car, car.
Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride in your 3.5-liter Ferrari with torsion bar suspension and
those
imported Venturi carburetors.
[spoken]
Hello, sports fans and welcome to Daytona Beach. You are about to hear the
sound of an
Austin-Healey Sprite, trying desperately to keep up with the other
Volkswagens in the
race. It will speed shift directly in front of the microphone and traveling
approximately
1000 yards further down the track will crash into a brick retaining wall.
This entire
spectacle starring Steve Reeves as the handsome, wind-blown driver is being
witnessed
by a crowd of over 20,000 sadistic sports fans. We take you now to the track
and the
sound of the race. [Someone makes the sounds of passing race cars, then
after a pause,
the sound of a two-cylinder engine trying desperately to keep up, engine
dying, then being
restarted, then shifiting through the gears until it crashes.]
