Built For Speed by Stray Cats
Intro: E
E
Here I come in my '57, she's a real low rider, paid perfection
A
With a custom engine painted black with flames
E
Ain't nobody gonna call that hotrod tame
B
Ooh ooh ooh oohoo
A
Ooh ooh ooh oohoo
E
Ah hoo hoo
E
V8 engine with a fuel injection, 2 8 3 that's my ounce of perfection
A
Take that rod out when it's very late
E
Haven't gotten round to gettin' license plates
B
Ooh ooh ooh oohoo
A
Ooh ooh ooh oohoo
E
Ah hoo hoo
E E7
Well I'm cruisin' low and I'm cruisin' mean,
A7 F#7
Well I'm cruisin' slow in my street machine
E B7
You're my hard rockin' mama and you're really built for speed
E
You're built for speed baby!
Guitar solo
E
When I reach that final destination, I will thrive upon, and leave with, compensation
A
With a little reeling and a lotta rockin'
E
You're my hard rockin' mama in your fishnet stockings
B
Ooh ooh ooh oohoo
A
Ooh ooh ooh oohoo
