[Very Slowly]
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 to pass me out
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)

[Slowly]
I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He must have thought his car had more guts
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)

[Normal speed]
My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust (whoosh)
Soon we were going ninety
Must have left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
Beep beep (beep beep) beep beep (beep beep)
His horn went beep beep beep (beep beep)

[Quickly]
Now we were doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy musta wanted to pass me out
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)

[Very quickly]
Now we're going a hundred twenty
As fast as I can go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fella rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how can I get this car out of second gear?"
