Also, mashing “the best stuff” together is not a good thing.

If I work on a Detroit assembly line, putting wheels on Cadillacs. And I have the idea to steal me a car from the factory, but so I do not get caught I take one piece a time. I figure I will have all the parts by the time I retire. Now, up to now my plan went all right

'Til we tried to put it all together one night

And that’s when we noticed that something was definitely wrong

The transmission was a '53

And the motor turned out to be a '73

And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone

So we drilled it out so that it would fit

And with a little bit of help with an adapter kit

We had that engine runnin’ just like a song

Now the headlight’ was another sight

We had two on the left and one on the right

But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on

The back end looked kinda funny too

But we put it together and when we got through

Well, that’s when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin

About that time my wife walked out

And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts

But she opened the door and said, “Honey, take me for a spin”

So we drove up town just to get the tags

And I headed her right on down main drag

I could hear everybody laughin’ for blocks around

But up there at the courthouse they didn’t laugh

'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff

And when they got through the title weighed 60 pounds

I got it one piece at a time

And it didn’t cost me a dime

You’ll know it’s me when I come through your town

I’m gonna ride around in style

I’m gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I’ll have the only one there is around

Ugh! Yeah, Red Ryder

This is the Cotton Mouth

In the Psycho Billy Cadillac come on

Huh, This is the Cotton Mouth

And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there Red Ryder

You might say I went right up to the factory

And picked it up, it’s cheaper that way

Ugh!, what model is it?

Well, It’s a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, ‘57, ‘58’ 59’ automobile

It’s a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70 automobile
