I had never heard / read this before...

While riding

in my Cadillac,

What to my surprise.

A little Nash Rambler was following me -

About one third my size.

The guy must’ve wanted 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!

His horn went beep beep beep.

 

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!

His horn went beep beep beep.

 

My car went into passing gear

And we took off with gust.

Soon we were doing ninety -

Must’ve 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 -

I think that guy could fly.

Beep beep. Beep! Beep!

His horn went beep beep beep.

 

Now we’re doing a hundred and ten -

This certainly was a race.

For a Rambler to pass a Caddy

Would be a big disgrace.

The guy must’ve wanted to pass me up

As he kept on tooting his horn.

I’ll show him that a Cadillac

Is not a car to scorn.

Beep beep. Beep! Beep!

His horn went beep beep beep.

 

Now we’re doing a hundred and twenty -

As fast as I could go.

The Rambler pulled along side of me

As if we were going slow.

The fellow rolled down his window

And yelled for me to hear,

“Hey, Buddy, how can I get this car

Out of second gear?!”

You're not old enough to remember it. A Classic!

I must be OLD or something as I do remember that song and it still brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. :smilielol5:

I think my father purchased a Rambler American Stationwagon for my mother because of that song....BEEP BEEP....:driving:Trying to get out of second gear. :seeya:

I remember when it came out also, not to date myself. It was a hit.

I, too, remember it. Know the words by heart. It is a classic like me. Russ
