I feel safest of all  
I can lock all my doors  
Its the only way to live  
In cars

While riding in my Cadillac, what, to my surprise,  
A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one-third my size.  
The guy must have wanted it to pass me up  
As he kept on tooting his horn. Beep! Beep!  
I’ll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.

Beep, beep. (Beep, beep.)  
Beep, beep. (Beep, beep.)  
His horn went, beep, beep, beep. (Beep! Beep!).

It’s the little old lady from Pasadena  
If you see her on the street don’t try to choose her  
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)  
You might drive a goer but you’ll never lose her  
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)  
Well, she’s gonna get a ticket now sooner or later  
'Cause she can’t keep her foot off the accelerator

Grandma got run over by a reindeer  
Walking home from our house Christmas eve  
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa  
But as for me and grandpa we believe

Over the river and through the woods  
To grandmother’s house we go  
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh  
Through wide and drifting snow

Papa looks over at the small gathering  
Remembering days gone by  
Smiles at the children as he watches them play  
And wishes his wife was still by his side  
She would always cook dinner on Thanksgiving Day

Come on Carrie, carry me a little farther  
Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile  
I don’t know where it’s leading to  
But I know I can make it if I lean on you  
So come on Carrie, carry me a little  
I carried you, now carry me a little  
Come on Carrie, carry me a little while

(I got to get home) But, baby, you’d freeze out there
