Song Lyrics

Why, this car is automatic
Systematic
Hydromatic
Why it's a grease lightnin'
(Grease lightnin')
(Grease lightnin')
(Grease lightnin')
(Grease lightnin')

I got chills they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying (it's electrifying)

You better shape 'cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you (and my heart is set on you)
You better shape up
You better understand, to my heart it must be true
(Nothing left, nothing left for me to do)

You're the one that I want (you are the one for) ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I need (you are the one for), ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I need (you are the one for), ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one I need, oh yes indeed

Why it's a grease lightnin' (grease lightnin')
We'll get some overhead lifters
And some four barrel quads oh yeah
(Keep talking, whoa, keep talking)
Fuel injection cutoffs and chrome-plated rods oh yeah
(I'll get the money, I'll kill to get the money)

With a four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door
You know that I ain't braggin' she's a real pussy wagon
Grease lightnin', go, go, go, go

Go grease lightnin', you're burning up the quarter mile
Grease lightnin', go grease lightnin'
Go grease lightnin', you're coasting through the hit lap trial
Grease lightnin', go grease lightnin'
You are supreme, the chicks'll cream for grease lightnin'
Go, go, go

We'll get some purple pitched tail lights and thirty inch fins, oh yeah (ooh)
A Palomino dashboard and duel-muffler twins, oh yeah (Ooo)
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
Grease lightnin'

Summer lovin' had me a blast
Summer lovin' happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting a way to oh, oh the summer nights
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh ooh

Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
(Doo, ah ha, do-roo, ah ha, do-roo, ah ha, do-roo ah ha)

She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drown
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun something's begun but oh, oh the summer nights
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh ooh

Tell me more tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more tell me more
Did she put up a fight?

It turned colder that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vows
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
