"You Can't Catch Me" lyrics

"You Can't Catch Me"
(originally by Chuck Berry)

I bought a brand-new air mobile
It was a custom made, it was a Flight DeVille
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing
Push in on the button, you will hear her sing

Now you can't catch me
Baby, you can't catch me
Because if you get too close
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Hey, hey
Well, you walk
Do the walk

New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rolling slowly because of drizzling showers
Here come a flat-top, he was moving up with me
Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney
I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll
Moaning siren, it was the state patrol
I let out my wings, then I blew my horn
Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become air borne

You can't catch me
Baby, you can't catch me
Because if you get too close
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Hey, hey
Well, you walk
Do the walk

I bought a brand-new air mobile
It was a custom made, it was a Flight DeVille
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing
Push in on the button, you will hear her sing

Now you can't catch me
Baby, you can't catch me
Because if you get too close
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Hey, hey
Well, you walk
Do the walk

Flying with my baby last Saturday night
Wasn't a grey cloud floating in sight
Big, full moon, shining up above
Cuddle up, honey, be my love
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen
I'm gonna name you Maybellene
Flying on the beam, set on flight control
Radio tuned to rock and roll
Two, three hours passed us by
Altitude dropping to five-o-five
Fuel consumption, way too fast
Let's get on home before we run out of gas

Now you can't catch me
Baby, you can't catch me
Because if you get too close
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze

Get it on
Yeah, walk
Get it on, get it on, get it on, do it
Get it on, get it on
You know you can't catch me
