I got a hot rod baby down in Dallas She's got a take-off like a jet propulsion She never stops when the red light says there's danger Other girls leave town when she's around This hot rod gal of mine CHORUS: Well hot rod, hot rod A streamlined body with an overdrive built-in She's got a V8 engine in her system All the cool cats back out when she kicks-in She's got a pair of baby doll eyes that gets 'em She's in a hepcat cla** that none can pa** That hot rod gal of mine
