In Want Of Something

(Donald Claps & Carl Ciccheti)
While riding in my Cadillac, what to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one third my size
The guy must have wanted to pass me out as he kept on tooting his horn
(Beep! Beep!)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn

Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)
Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)
His horn went Beep! Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)

I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler 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
(Beep! Beep!)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn

Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)
Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)
His horn went Beep! Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)

My car went into passing gear and we took off with gust
Soon we were doing 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 Nash Rambler was right behind
I think that guy could fly

Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!) Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)
His horn went Beep! Beep! Beep!

Now we're doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy, would be a big disgrace
The guy who wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn...
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn

Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)
Beep! Beep! (Beep! Beep!)
His horn went Beep! Beep! Beep!

Now we're doing a hundred and twenty, as fast as I could go...
The Rambler pulled along side of me as if I were going slow
The fellow rolled down his window and yelled for me to hear
"Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"
