Hank Green - Demolition Derby lyrics
[Hank Green - Demolition Derby lyrics]
Yeah, we gotta out tickets ready
Are you ready to go?
Pay two bucks extra to be in the front row
So grab your deep-fried cheeses
And you deep-fried meats
Your deep-fried veggies
And your deep-fried sweets
All that mangled metal
And the flaming exhaust
Is worth every dime no matter
How much it costs
There's a lot of good things
At the county fair
But the demolition derby is why I'm there
Oh, demolition derby's got it going on
Demolition derby, all night long
Demolition derby, that guy just lost his tire
Demolition derby, now I think he's on fire
Demolition derby is why I'm there
Well, a lot of old cars
Are ready to say goodbye
But we can't let a death
Panel choose how they die
With cash for clunkers you
Get four-thousand bucks
But, it's much more exciting once
You ditch your old truck
So strap your helmet on and
Grind down your gears
And take a shot of whiskey
And conquer your fears
Yeah, there's a lot of good ways
To get rid of old cars
But the demolition derby is the best by far
Oh, demolition derby's got it going on
Demolition derby, all night long
Demolition derby, motocross intermission
Demolition derby
Then you're back to competition
Demolition derby is why I'm there
I hear the engines roar
And the screaming crowd
Anything this much fun shouldn't be
Allowed oh, nose to nose, and trunk to trunk
Nothing left over but hunks of junk
Yeah, this is my church and
These are my prayers
Smashing each other and flying
Through the air
One car left running and I shed a single tear
Demolition derby, I'll see you next year
Oh, demolition derby
And your carburetor's rusted
Demolition derby, and your radiator's busted
Demolition derby
They thought you'd win the cash
Demolition derby, but you just got whiplash
Demolition derby, I'll see you next year
Are you ready to go?
Pay two bucks extra to be in the front row
So grab your deep-fried cheeses
And you deep-fried meats
Your deep-fried veggies
And your deep-fried sweets
All that mangled metal
And the flaming exhaust
Is worth every dime no matter
How much it costs
There's a lot of good things
At the county fair
But the demolition derby is why I'm there
Oh, demolition derby's got it going on
Demolition derby, all night long
Demolition derby, that guy just lost his tire
Demolition derby, now I think he's on fire
Demolition derby is why I'm there
Well, a lot of old cars
Are ready to say goodbye
But we can't let a death
Panel choose how they die
With cash for clunkers you
Get four-thousand bucks
But, it's much more exciting once
You ditch your old truck
So strap your helmet on and
Grind down your gears
And take a shot of whiskey
And conquer your fears
Yeah, there's a lot of good ways
To get rid of old cars
But the demolition derby is the best by far
Oh, demolition derby's got it going on
Demolition derby, all night long
Demolition derby, motocross intermission
