I had me a hot rod Mercury
A nineteen and fifty-one
With the sun visor and the fender skirts
Oh, I had her underslung

Had a little chain around the license plate
Suicide knob on the steering wheel
Had a little rip in the front seat cover
But that weren’t no big deal

Kept her shined up like a new penny
All dressed up so neat
She was a classic and more
With a four on the floor
A fifth under the front seat

Had a straight pipe running’ through the muffler
With a hideaway toggle switch
And that old Mercury purred just like a kitten
Until I hit that switch

Then you better pull down your windows
And lock up all of your doors
Believe it or not, for 20 city blocks
You could hear that Mercury roar

Hear that Mercury roar
Hear that Mercury roar
Believe it or not, for 20 city blocks
You can hear that old Mercury roar

Down in Luisa, Texas
Right on the courthouse square
All the guys and all of the chicks
Well, they hang out down there

The gals would go one way around the square
And the guys around the other
When we would meet we would slow way down
And check out one another

When I met that special girl
One I could adore
Well, I’d reach down, trip that old toggle switch
And make that old Mercury roar

Make that Mercury roar
Make that Mercury roar
I’d reach down, trip that old toggle switch
And make that old Mercury roar

If I could just go back to the fifties
And if things were to be the same
You'd see me hangin’ out at the Skyview Drive-in
With my Patricia Jane

Well, we listened to the music on the jukebox
Down at the Rexall store
One more time I’d like to trip that switch
And make that old Mercury roar

Make that Mercury roar
Make that Mercury roar
I’d reach down, trip that old toggle switch
And make that Mercury roar

Make that Mercury roar
Make that Mercury roar
I’d reach down, trip that old toggle switch
And make that old Mercury roar

Yeah, go down to the Skyview Drive-in
Have a little of that fried chicken
Do a little sparkin’,
I think you call it neckin’ nowadays
Whoo, got me a suicide knob on my steering wheel
Got a rose in it,
Wife wouldn’t let me put a naked girl in it
Make that Mercury roar
