“Pull Up to the Bumper” was co-written by Grace Jones, Kookoo Baya and Dana Manno. The song’s instrumental part was originally recorded in 1980 during the Warm Leatherette sessions; however, it did not make the album as Chris Blackwell found its R&B sound not fitting in the rest of the material....
[Verse 1]
Driving down those city streets
Waiting to get down
Want to ditch your big machine
Somewhere in this town
Now in the parking lot garage
I found the proper place
Just follow all the written rules
You'll fit into the space
[Chorus]
Pull up to my bumper baby
In your long black limousine
Pull up to the bumper baby
And drive it in between
[Post-Chorus]
Pull up to it
Don't drive through it
Back it up twice
Now that fits nice
[Verse 2]
Operate around the clock
So why don't you come in?
Lots of space for everyone
One for you my friend
My lines are short, I'll fix you up
So won't you please come on
Shiny sleek machine you wheel
I've got to blow your horn
[Chorus]
Pull up to my bumper baby
In your long black limousine
Pull up to my bumper baby
And drive it in between
[Bridge]
Pull up to it
Don't drive through it
Back it up twice
Now that fits nice
Grease it, spray it
Let me lubricate it
[Outro]
Pull up to my bumper baby
Pull up
Pull up to my bumper baby
Pull up
Pull up to my bumper baby
Pull up
Pull up to my bumper baby
Pull up
