Why this car is automatic
It’s systematic
It’s hydromatic
Why it’s greased lightnin’!
(Grease lightnin’!)
And everybody’s sayin’ that there’s nobody meaner
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She’s the terror of Colorado Boulevard
Well I don’t want no bald headed woman
Gonna make me mean, yes, love, it make me mean
I don’t want no bald headed woman
Gonna make me mean, yes, love, it make me mean
Well I don’t want no sugar in my coffee
Gonna make me mean, yes, love, it make me mean
I don’t want no sugar in my coffee
Gonna make me mean, oh, make me mean
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Jocko says yes, and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they’re standing in each other’s way
They tell us that
We lost our tails
Evolving up
From little snails
I say it’s all
Just wind in sails
Are we not men?
We are Devo
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O
We’re pinheads now
We are not whole
We’re pinheads all
Jocko Homo
They’ve got no horns and they’ve got no tail,
They don’t even know of our existence.
“Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold,
That lies in the deep distance?” he cried.
It’s the bulls and the blood,
It’s the dust and mud,
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd,
It’s the white in his knuckles,
The gold in the buckle,
He’ll win the next go 'round…

Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it’s always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Something wicked this way comes!
Wickedness lies in your moistened lips
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Black cats lay atop your satin bed
You sure wish that you could see me dead
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From mister mistoffelees’ conjuring turn
And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever a cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever a cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
He is quiet he is small he is black
From his ears to the tip of his tail
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest rail
They said, Get back, Honky cat,
You better get back to the woods,
You better quit those days,
And your red-necked ways,
And, yeah, The change is gonna do me good…
I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across shoulder
'Cause I just can’t seem to drink you off my mind
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
And the little man,
Looked at the empty glass in his hand.
And he smiled a crooked grin,
He said, " I guess I’m out of gin.
And know we both have been so lonely.
And if you want me to come with you, then that’s all right with me.
‘Cause I know I’m goin’ nowhere and anywhere’s a better place to be."
Well, one more drink of wine
Then if you’re still on my mind,
One drink, Just one more and then another…
Down in New Orlean, where everything is fine
All them cats is drinkin’ that wine
Drinking that mess to their delight
When they gets drunk, start singing all night
Drinkin’ wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin’ wine, bop ba
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin’ wine, bop ba
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin’ wine, bop ba
Pass that bottle to me
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober?
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back to start over
Ramblin’ around this dirty old town
Singin’ for nickels and dimes
Times getting tough, I ain’t got enough
To buy a little bottle of wine
You don’t need a penny just to hang around
But if you’ve got a nickel, won’t you lay your money down?
Over on the corner, there’s a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boys
Down on the corner, out in the street
‘Willy and the Poor Boys’ are playin’
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
I reckon we’re in love,
And married we’ll be,
And all for a penny,
A bright copper penny,
The penny that brought you to me.
