There's a girl in the backseat
Goin' down slowly
Lookin' for the promised land
Do the rollie pollie
Sally's on the see-saw
Johnny's actin' holy
There's a girl in the backseat
Goin' down slowly
Monday mornin' back in school
All week long actin cool
But though they may be talkin this
And talkin' talkin' talkin' that
You know there's just one thing on their minds
There's a girl in the backseat
Goin' down slowly
Lookin' for the promised land
Do the rollie pollie
Sally's on the see-saw
Johnny's actin' holy
There's a girl in the backseat
Goin' down slowly
Johnny's pumpin' gasoline
Sally makes the counter sheen
But every Friday night at nine
Lord, it's backseat time
There's a girl in the backseat
(There's a girl in the backseat)
Goin' down slowly
(Goin' goin down)
Lookin' for the promised land
(Lookin' lookin for the Promised Land)
Do the rollie pollie
(Hey yeah)
Sally's on the see-saw
(Sally's waitin' on the see-saw)
Johnny's actin' holy
(Hey yeah)
There's a girl in the backseat
(There's a girl, there's a girl goin' down)
Goin' down slowly
Goin' down slowly
Goin' down slowly
