CHORUS
Truck on, truck on, truck on, truck on, Tyke
Truck on, truck on, truck on, truck on, Tyke
Oh Tyke, baby
You a slender living lady
You're dynamite, yeah
You a Jeep mouth bouncer
You a right on dancer
Got gangster's legs, yeah
Like a song
I truck on
CHORUS
You a silver stud fender
I'm a jive brained bender
I'm everyone, yeah
Got electric deep in me
I'm a space-age cowboy
Ride dinosaurs, yeah
Like a song
I truck on
CHORUS
Oh Tyke, baby
You a palomino lady
Cause you move a lot, yeah
People put you down
Cause you're too low on the ground
They can't hurt you though
Cause you're cosmic
Like a song
I truck on
