[SEL] OT - would like help with an old song

[Bill Dickerson]

And anyone who believes that AMC's can't go fast, let's just say that there
are growing numbers of folks who take their old Ramblers and squeeze 12 and
13 second quarter mile runs out of them.

Wanna impress your girlfriend -

And this from a fellow who drives a bit milder Gremmie with a 360:

360 Gremlin: 11.52 @ 111
< on: Jul 11th, 2004, 3:14pm > 
We had better traction today, and car responded with the best ET to date:
11.52. 60 foot times still suffer a lot, as the slicks are not here yet, but
the 60 foot for the above run was: 1.673. 

-------------------------------
I suspect he WAS out of second gear, however.........

And the complete lyrics....

 They start painfully slow, dragging each word, and speed up with each
verse. By the end, it's a very fast tempo. I assume from the chart info that
was already posted that it's a tribute to the 1957 Rebel, but I'm just
guessing... <chorus>
Beep beep      <sound of horn - beep beep!>
   Beep beep      <beep beep>
      His horn went beep beep beep      <beep beep>

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

<chorus>

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

<chorus>

My car went in to passing gear
And we took off with gust
And soon we were doing 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

<chorus>

Now we're doing a hundred and ten
It certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy must have wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn

<chorus>

Now we're doing a hundred and twenty
As fast as I could go
The Rambler pulled alongside of me
As if we were going slow
The fellow rolled his window down
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how can I get this car
  out...
      of...
         second
            gear!"
