[Verse 1]
It's Saturday night
And I'm at home
Crying by
The telephone
And while I sit here
Alone and blue
Honey, where are you?
[Chorus]
You're soupin' up your Motor
Puttin' mufflers on your car
Shinin' up your spinners
So they twinkle like a star
[Verse 2]
Slappin' paint on the fenders
Stickin' stripes on the hood
You forgot about me
Just like I knew you would
[Refrain 1]
But don't mind me, I'm only your girlfriend
One you see once a year
So don't mind me, if you want something tender
Then [?] to your fender [?]
[Chorus]
And finish soupin' up your motor
Puttin' mufflers on your car
Shinin' up your spinners
So they twinkle like a star
[Verse 3]
I don't mind the day time
It's the nights with you I miss
You spend more time in a drag race
Then you spend in a kiss
[Refrain 2]
But don't mind me, I'm only your girlfriend
The one that you're supposed to wed
No don't mind me, if you change your mind
You can marry Paul instead
[Chorus]
And finish soupin' up your motor
Puttin' mufflers on your car
Shinin' up your spinners
So they twinkle like a star
[Verse 4]
Polishin' the Chrome
So it's bright as bright can be
You got a very lovely car
But you ain't got me
