One Piece At A Time |
| Well I left Kentucky back in 49. |
| And I went to Detroit workin on an assembly line |
| The first year they had me puttin wheels on Caddillacs |
| Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by |
| and sometimes id hang my head and cry |
| Cause i always wanted me one that was long and black. |
| One day I devised myself a plan that should be the envy of most any man |
| Id sneak it out of there in a lunch box in my hand |
| Now, gettin caught meant gettin fired |
| But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired |
| And I'd have me a car worth at least a hundered grand |
| (CHORUS) |
| I'd get it one piece at a time |
| And it wouldnt cost me a dime |
| You'll know it's me whe I come throught your town |
| I'm gonna ride around in style |
| I'm gonna drive everybody wild |
| Cause I'll have the only one ther is around |
| So the very next day when I punched in |
| With my big lunch box and with help from my friends |
| I left that day with a lunch box full of gears |
| I've never considered myself a thief |
| But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece |
| Especially if I strung it out over several years |
| The first day I got me a fuel pump |
| And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk |
| Then i got me a transmission and all the chrome |
| The little things I could get in my big lunch box |
| Like nuts and bolts and all 4 shocks |
| But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddies mobile home |
| Now, up to now, my plan went all right |
| Till we tried to put it all together one night |
| And thats when we noticed that somethin was definitely wrong |
| The transmission was a 53 |
| And the motor turned out to be a 73 |
| And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone |
| So we drilled it out so that it would fit |
| And with a little bit of help from an adapter kit |
| We had that engine runnin just like a song |
| Now the headlights they was another sight |
| We had 2 on the left and one on the right |
| But when we pulled out the switch all three of em come on |
| The back end looked kinda funny too |
| But we put it together and when we got through |
| Well thats when we noticed that we only had one tail fin |
| About that time my wife walked out |
| And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts |
| But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin." |
| So we drove up town just to get the tags |
| And I headed right on down main drag |
| And I could hear everybody laughing for blocks around |
| But up there at the court house they didn't laugh |
| Cause to type it up it took the whole staff |
| And when they got through the title weighed 60 pounds |
| (CHORUS) |
| Uh,yeah,Red-rider,this is the Cottonmouth in the sycho-billy-Cadillac,come on |
| This is the Cottonmouth and negatory on the cost on this machine here |
| Red-rider |
| You might say I right up to the factory and picked it up, it was chaper |
| that way |
| What model is it? |
| It's a 49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59 automobile |
| It's a 60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70 automobile |
