While riding in my Cadillac, what, to my surprise
A little Volkswagen was following me, about just half my size
The guy must have wanted it to pass me by
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep, beep
Beep, beep
His horn went, beep, beep, beep
I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake
But the little Volkswagen stayed right behind, he still had on his brake
He must have thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep, beep
Beep, beep
His horn went, beep, beep, beep
My car went into passing gear and we took off with dust
Soon we were doin' ninety, must have left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Volkswagen was right behind, I think that guy could fly
Beep, beep
Beep, beep
His horn went, beep, beep, beep
Now we're doing a 110, it certainly was a race
For a bug to beat a Caddy would be a big disgrace
The guy must have wanted to pass me
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep, beep
Beep, beep
His horn went, beep, beep, beep
Now we're doing a 120, as fast as I could go
The little Volkswagen pulled up to me as if we were going slow
The driver rolled down his window and yelled for me to hear
"Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"
