Well this car is automatic,
it's systematic,
it's hydromatic
Why it's greased lightnin'!

I got chills, they're multiplyin',
and I'm losin' control
Cause the power you're supplyin',
it's electrifyin'
You better shape up,
cause I need a man,
and my heart is set on you
You better shape up,
you better understand,
to my heart I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
You're the one that I want
ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one I need (the one I need), oh yes indeed (yes indeed)
Why it's greased lightnin'!

We'll get some overhead lifters,
and four barrel quads, oh yeah
Keep talkin', whoah keep talkin'
Fuel injection cut off,
and chrome plated rods, oh yeah
I'll get the money,
I'll see you get the money
With a four-speed on the floor,
they'll be waitin' at the door
You know that I ain't braggin',
she's a real pussy wagon -
greased lightnin

Go, greased lightnin',
you're burnin' up the quarter mile
Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'
Go, greased lightnin',
you're coastin' through the heat lap trials
Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'

You are supreme,
the chicks'll cream for greased lightnin'
We'll get some purple French tail lights
and thirty-inch fins, oh yeah
A palomino dashboard and duel muffler twins, oh yeah
With new pistons, plugs, and shocks,
I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't braggin',
she's a real pussy wagon - greased lightnin'

Summer lovin' had me a blast -
summer lovin', happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me -
I met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days driftin' away,
to uh-oh those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more,
did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more,
like, does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp
- he went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned -
he showed off, splashing around

Summer sun, something's begun,
but uh-oh those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more,
did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more,
like, does he have a car?

It turned colder, that's where it ends -
so I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow -
wonder what she's doin' now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams,
but oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me mo-oo-oore.
