Chantilly Lace (Live)

I got a question to ask

Any of you out there ever own, or maybe you

Had a boyfriend that owned, a 1957 Chevy?

Yeah, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it

The reason I ask is, I look at children

Like this nowadays, I feel so bad

'Cause I know in 16 years, he's gonna end up spending

Maybe 80, 90 thousand dollars for a used Yagahashi

Don't laugh, it'll be the last American-

Made car at the rate we're going

And what's he gonna get? He's gonna get airbags?

Wow, he'll get at least seven airbags by then

You know how the government thinks: two in the front, two in the

Back, two on the sides, one in the trunk in case you're kidnapped

He's gonna get seatbelts where there ain't even places nowadays

Seatbelts, we had the good stuff

I'll never forget my '57 Chevy

I had imitation leopard seat covers

I had fluffy dice hanging from my rearview mirror

Some of us still have fluffy dice hanging from our rearview mirrors

I had pom-poms on my sun visor

And staring out the back window, one of those dogs with the eyes

That were light red every time you hit the brakes, look out girls

Talk about a love machine

I'd go cruising on Saturday night

I'd roll down the window on my '57 Chevy

That's the way I used to roll down the window on my '57 Chevy

Come to think of it, it's still the way I roll down my window

I'd turn that radio up to its full four watts, think about it

And I'd listen to those great songs

The songs that started rock 'n' roll

By my heroes, the true legends of rock 'n' roll

Guys like this

"Hello baby, this is the Big Bopper speaking"

Chintilly lace and a pretty face

And a ponytail hangin' down

A wiggle in her walk and a wiggle in her talk

And Lordy, make the world go round, round, round

There ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl

Make me act so funny, spend my money

Feel real loose like a longneck goose

Ah baby, that's what I like
