The Getaway
Years ago in NY State
A man named Henry Ford
Came out with the first known car
Which no one could afford
But now the years have passed them by
And I drive an Accord
A warrant's out for my arrest
My parents cried, "Oh,Lord!"
That's why I gotta ditch the cops
I don't slow down for anyone
I speed through all the stops
I could of pulled right over if I didn't smuggle pot
I'm aimin for the border
I gotta ditch the cops
Now not too long ago
I only had a permit
My second class was Driver's Ed
My teacher's name was Kermit
I shifted out of second gear
And he began to scream
"You're driving way too fast, my boy!"
And I said, "So it seems."
That's why I gotta ditch the cops
I'm facing counts of DUI
(I drank a fifth of Schnopps)
I tried to floor a drawbridge
And I did, but not the cops
'Cause when it comes to ramps
I always come out on top
They made a barricade
And spike strips they had laid
One thing that they forgot to do
Was to blockade all the exits
Oh, they didn't have a clue
Now I've P.O.d all the cops
I've levelled 13 Port-A-Jons
And still I do not stop
I'm the first priority
In the eyes of Spec Ops
The tension's getting tighter
I gotta ditch the cops
My tank is getting empty
(My getaway's big glitch)
I wish that I could bail right out
Too bad that I'm not rich
I'm starting to get road rage
Screaming out the window,"B!+(&!"
Then I sped right 'cross the border
I got through without a hitch
Oh, the cops I had outhunk
I scoff at this from Mexico
Drink beer until I'm drunk
One factor I'd forgotten was the teacher in the trunk
"Oh well," I said,"Let's party
to some cool Latino funk"
