Bad Brakes Lyrics

bad brakes whole car shakes  
looks like i'm heading for a breakdown  
black smoke engine beginning to choke  
i must be heading for a breakdown  
 
i pulled up for a mouth of coca-cola  
down at Samuel's cafe  
saw a little spanish lady coming over  
said "lady are you going my way" she said "o-lay"  
 
bad brakes carburettor shakes  
looks like you're heading for a breakdown  
black smoke engine beginning to choke  
we must be heading for a breakdown  
 
we hit the road at 90 miles an hour  
heading for 'Frisco Bay  
she said "Senor you got cop on your shoulder"  
i said "oh now we'd better not stay  
we got to get away with our  
bad brakes carburettor shakes  
looks like we're heading for a breakdown"  
 
he was catching up nose right inside our mirror  
when the motor blowed  
we climbed out and she began to shiver  
oh no sir please let us go  
he said "don't you know you got  
bad brakes carburettor shakes  
looks like you bought yourself a breakdown  
black smoke engine beginning to choke  
and you've got yourself a breakdown"  
 
bad brakes engine beginning to shake  
looks like we've got ourselves a breakdown  
black smoke engine beginning to choke  
we got ourselves a breakdown
