Well Billy bought a Chevy '40 coupe deluxe

Chrome wheels, stick shift, give her gas, pop the clutch

Girls on the corner like a diamond they shine

Someday Billy I'm gonna make 'em all mine

Hey girl, you wanna ride in Daddy's Cadillac?

'Cause I love the way your long hair falls down your back

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley's at the Seaside Bar

We'll run barefoot in the sand, listen to his guitar

You say your mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes

And your papa's gonna beat you 'cause he knows you're out on the run

I'm gonna live a life of love and tonight you're the one

The highway is alive tonight so baby do not be frightened

There's something about a pretty girl on a sweet summer night

That gets this boy excited

The radio man finally understands and plays you something you can move to

You lay back, cut loose your drive power

Your girl leans over and says, "Daddy, can you turn that radio up any louder?"

The juke joint's hummin', everybody came down

Little Willie and his Soul Brooms laying all this stuff now

Well don't let that daylight steal your soul

Get in your wheels and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll

Oh that's all right now

Oh go on, go on, go on

Oh mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes

And your daddy's gonna beat you 'cause he knows you're out on the run

But I don't care, I wanna live a life of love while the night's still young
