TAKE A RIDE
(Shirley - Soileau)
RED SMILEY & THE VEL-TONES (JIN 45-107, 1959)

Movin' and a-groovin' at the Saturday dance
Shakin' and a-quakin' lookin' for romance
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and the band has got the beat
Pumpin' and a-jumpin' with a chick who is so sweet
Hoppin' and a-boppin', pumpin' and a-jumpin'
Come on pretty baby take ride with me

I got money in my pocket and my tank is full of gas
I'm a-lookin' for a woman who just won't give me no sas
Take a ride, take a ride
Come on pretty baby, honey take ride with me

Sneakin' and a-peekin', I'm a-lookin' for a break
Even though her pa's a-watchin', that's a chance I've gotta take
Take a ride, take a ride
Come on pretty baby, honey take ride with me

Rarin' and a-tearin' we're a-racin' down the road
Swayin' and a-sweatin', man I really got a load
Think I hear a siren comin', he's a-gonna spill the wine
Hang on pretty baby, we're gonna do some flyin'
Huffin' and a-puffin', steamin' and a-screamin'
Well, pretty baby that's the end of the line
