no money down - chuck berry
as i was motivatin'
back in town
i saw a cadillac sign
sayin' "no money down"
so i eased on my brakes
and i pulled in the drive
gunned my motor twice
then i walked inside
dealer came to me
said "trade in you ford
and i'll put you in a car
that'll eat up the road
just tell me what you want
and then sign on that line
and i'll have it brought down to you
in a hour's time"
i'm gonna get me a car
and i'll be headed on down the road
then i won't have to worry
about that broken - down, raggedy ford
"well mister i want a yellow convertible
four - door de ville
with a continental spare
and a wide chrome wheel
i want power steering
and power brakes
i want a powerful motor
with a jet off - take
i want air condition
i want automatic heat
and i want a full murphy bed
in my back seat
i want short - wave radio
i want tv and a phone
you know i gotta talk to my baby
when i'm ridin' alone"
yes i'm gonna get that car
and i'm gonna head on down the road
yeah, then i won't have to worry
about that broken - down, raggedy ford
"i want four carburetors
and two straight exhausts
i'm burnin' aviation fuel
no matter what the cost
i want railroad air horns
and a military spark
and i want a five - year guarantee
on everything i got
i want ten - dollar deductible
i want twenty dollar notes
i want thirty thousand liability"
that's all she wrote
i got me a car
and i'm headed on down the road
no money down
i don't have to worry
about that broken - down, raggedy ford
