My baby travels at the speed of light Down love's lost highway One step beyond and way out of sight She says, "honey, today's your lucky day" I'll be your hot rod racer, your hot rod racer Hot rod racer, just for you I'll be your hot rod racer, your hot rod racer Back it up, I'm coming through (Oh yeah) (Hot dog) (swing it) Time flies when you're having fun No time to change the pace My baby dances to a different drum
She's my queen of outer space (Ah yeah) Well I'm restless and I'm ruthless And near as dammit toothless But I've still got a long ways to go Maybe frost on the rooftop But, hey bop-a-rebop There's still some fire down below My baby drives a hot rod racer My baby drives a hot rod car My baby drives a hot rod racer She's my hot rod shooting star (Ah yeah) (Come on swing it)
