You can have yo' V8

You can have yo' Lincoln, chose

Give me my old Lizzie

I know what she will do



My old Lizzie gets cranky

But she's good as she can be

She maybe naive

But she's alright with me



'Play it!'



I love my Lizzie

I tell the world I do

I'm satisfied

That Lizzie loves her daddy, too



Old Lizzie is evil

She don't know how to be sweet

But when she lays her racket

I declare, it can't be beat



(instrumental & harmonica)



Good looks is skin deep

But ugly is to the bone

I'll have my old Lizzie

When yo' V8 is gone



My old Lizzie don't dip snuff

She don't run around

But give her alcohol

She sho' will go to town.
