Lyrics
Me and my baby's tryin' to go steady
We can't get married and we can't get ready
My folks say no and they make me rue
We need education so we keep on school
At times we're happy and sometimes blue
When you keep goin' steady don't know what to do
I'm a sharp lookin' cat she's a livin' doll
But I want to play the field awhile
I had a new date and at first it was fun
'Til I started thinkin' up what I'd done
I went back but my baby hadn't left much clues
And I got to thinkin' she's datin' some too
As I thought about my baby I looked all around
And I spotted the tire marks there on the ground
That screeched away and gone on a date
And from the tracks I knew it was a twin pipe Dayton
Without much to go on I jumped on the wheel
Of my old drag wagon and I scratched in the field
My twin pipes bellered a blue smoke trail
But I'll track down my baby if I have to break the bail
I stopped at the drug store to get me a smoke
And my baby and her cat had been in for a Coke
They be-bopped chicken to the jukebox tone
And then took off for parts unknown
Right then I'd say I's a little up shook
I reached and grabbed up the telephone book
I called Record Hop's and my baby's friends
Tryin' to see what the dollar's playin'
But I found out just a little more than I knew
My customized rod had a job to do
I headed out and I was ready to go
With two carburetors anything but slow
Speed shifted to second and the high I flew
With the needle readin' one a hundred and two
I slid up to the light and I made my stop
Then I saw it in front of a Record Hop
There parked was a customized Cadillac
With convertible top Continental on the back
At the Hop's was my baby jumpin' to the fun
With a glue cut cat and my trackin' was done
Well I hopped inside to bop to a tune
But I started thinkin' 'bout a honeymoon
Then my baby saw me and to me she run
And said my lover boy you're the only one
My lover boy you're the only one
