If i was staggerwing plane

A staggerwingpainted red

I'd fly over to your house, baby

Buzz you in your bed

If i was a taperwing

A taperwing painted blue

I'd be barrell-rolling over you

You're gonna need a rider anyhow

Let me be your rider now

If i was a maserati

A red 300s

I'd ride around to your house, baby

Give you a driving test

If i was a mustang racer

White with a stripe of blue

You could ride me,baby

Whenever you wanted to

You're gonna need a rider anyhow

Let me be your rider now

If i was a fender guitar

A fender painted red

You could play me, darlin'

Until your fingers bled

If i was one of them gibsons

Like a '58 or '9

You could plug me in

And play me anytime

You're gonna need a rider anyhow

Let me be your rider now

If i was a motorcycle

A vincent red rapide

I'd ride around to your house, baby

Get you up to speed

If i was short track racer

I'd be an indian

You could ride me around

And ride me round again

You're gonna need a rider anyhow

Let me be your rider now

You're gonna need a rider anyhow

Let me be your rider now
