Hot Rodders Lament I bought myself a coupe De'ville Louvers on the fender Lakepipes going down the side To make the girls surrender I had it nosed n decked n chopped One inch from the ground I wanted nothing but to have The sharpest ride in town CHORUS YES I spend my paycheck Lord I lay my money down Well they say I own my car but It's the other way around Three grand on the paint job Four grand on the mill Two grand on the custom welded powder coated grill My refrigerators empty and my pantry is a joke Just to buy the gasoline I am going broke CHORUS My cam is custom ground And my chrome is solid gold I'm sleeping on the floor Because my furnitures been sold Now take a listen hotrod boys From lessons I have learned Don't play around with cars unless You've got the cash to burn CHORUS
