Lyrics for You Can't Catch Me
I bought a brand new airmobile 'Twas a custom made, 'twas a Flight De Ville With a powerful motor and a hideaway wing Push in on the button, you will hear her sing Now, you can't catch me Baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze Hey, hey Well, you walk You walk New Jersey Turnpike in the wee, wee hours I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin' shower Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me Then come wavin' goodbye in a little old souped-up jitney I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol I let out my wings, then I blew my horn Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborne You can't catch me Baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze Hey Well, you walk Yeah, walk I bought a brand new airmobile 'Twas a custom made, 'twas a Flight De Ville With a powerful motor and a hideaway wing Push in on the button, you will hear her sing Now, you can't catch me Baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze Hey, hey Well, you walk You walk Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night Wasn't a grey cloud floatin' in sight Big, full moon shinin' up above Cuddle up, honey, be my love Sweetest little thing that I ever seen I'm gonna name you Maybellene Flyin' on the beam, set on flight control Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll Two, three hours passed us by Altitude dropped into five-o-five Fuel consumption way too fast Let's get on home before we run out of gas Now, you can't catch me Baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze Get it on Yeah, walk Get it on Get it on, get it on Do it Get it on, get it on You know you can't catch me, yes I got your number You ain't safe, buddy I got you now, now
