        Well she got her daddy's car
        And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
        Seems she forgot all about the library
        Like she told her old man now
        And with the radio blasting
        Goes cruising just as fast as she can now

        She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
        (You look like an ace now you look like an ace)
        A lotta guys try to catch her
        But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
        (You drive like an ace now you drive like an ace)

        And she'll have fun fun fun
        'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
        (Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

        Well its been building up inside of me
        For oh I don't know how long
        I don't know why
        But I keep thinking
        Something's bound to go wrong

        But she looks in my eyes
        And makes me realize
        And she says "Don't worry baby"
        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby
        Everything will turn out alright

        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby

        I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
        When I started to brag about my car
        But I can't back down now because
        I pushed the other guys too far

        She makes me come alive
        And makes me wanna drive
        When she says "Don't worry baby"
        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby
        Everything will turn out alright

        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby

        She told me "Baby, when you race today
        Just take along my love with you
        And if you knew how much I loved you
        Baby nothing could go wrong with you"

        Oh what she does to me
        When she makes love to me
        And she says "Don't worry baby"
        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby
        Everything will turn out alright

        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby
        Don't worry baby

        (Doo run de run de doo run de run de)
        Just one long kiss and we'll be gone
        ÔCause two minutes all there are now

        (Duh duh)
        Well me gotta go

        Three nights and days I sail the sea
        Me think of girls a-constantly
        I'm on the ship me dream she there
        Me smell the rose a-in her hair

        I said Louie Louie
        Oh baby now me gotta go
        Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
        Louie Louie
        Oh baby now me gotta go

        Word
        I see Jamaica
        (Duh duh)
        Beautiful
        (Duh duh)
        It won't be long
        (Duh duh)
        Til I see my love
        (Duh duh)
        I'll take her in
        (Duh duh)
        My arms again
        (Duh duh)
        I'll tell her I
        (Duh duh)
        Will never leave again

        I said Louie Louie
        (Duh duh)
        (Duh duh duh)
        (Duh duh)
        Well me gotta go
        (Duh duh)
        (Duh duh duh)
        (Duh duh)
        Louie Louie
        (Duh duh)
        (Duh duh duh)
        (Duh duh)
        Yeah me gotta go
        (Duh duh)
        (Duh duh duh)
        (Duh duh)
        I say me gotta go now
        (Duh duh)
        (Duh duh duh)
        (Duh duh)
        Me gotta go
