Well, we was Fscreamin' through the valley
Where the NiDshnabotna flows
Through the Fmud and crud and cornfields
Where the maDri-ju-wana grows
'Cross the rFailroad tracks of Persia
Down the hilDls and up the dale
Had a BbCJ-5 with a Ebfour-wheel drive
And SmBbokey on my Ftail.
Well, he Fpicked me up at exit 12
On the I-Dsix-eighty ramp
I was Fdoin' 67 per
When I rDumbled through his trap
He commenFced to whirl his flashin' lights
And he made his siren wDail
I slBbipped on down to fEbour-wheel drive
With BbSmokey on my tail
Now I got Bbracin' stripes and dual pipes
And SEbmokey's got a Ford
Got a Bbmill with a four pot carb, you know
But SmEbokey's stroked and bored
Well, the chBbase was on, but I had the edge
With a Ebrig that'll never fail
Got a CBbJ-5 with a fEbour-wheel drive
And SBbmokey on my Ftail
Yeah, he was.
Well, I dFropped on down to granny low
And I Dmade a hard right turn
My bFig ol' fat Commando tires
Went sDlashin' through the corn
Well, the Ftassels blew and the kernels flew
And it Dlooked like yella hail
Just cBbookin' alive in a Ebfour-wheel drive
With SBbmokey on my Ftail
Well, we went Fscreamin' through the valley
Where the NishDnabotna flows
Through the Fmud and crud and cornfields
Where the maDri-ju-wana grows
'Cross the rFailroad tracks of Persia
Up the hills Dand down the dales
My CBbJ-5 with foEbur-wheel drive
And BbSmokey on my tFail.
(Just play F through the next part.)
[Imagine a series of comic-style thought balloons.]
Look out, now. Here he come.
Oh, we gonna get it on now.
Don't hit that fella with the banjo.
We gonna swim this here creek now, Smokey.
Yard wide and a foot deep.
"Nishnabota River", they call it.
Might haveta winch out.
Gonna do a wheelie on that there gopher mound now, Smokey.
Can you dig it, Smokey?
Got four on the floor and four in the air on that one, didn't we?
Goodness gracious. 'Bout ta bust my shocks.
[Back to normal. Add sirens up until the racin' stripes and dual pipes part.]
Well, that JFeep of mine made Smokey whine
His Drig was made of lead
He was mFired in fourteen feet of mud
So he raDdioed ahead
I puFlled up onto the blacktop
Went crDashin' on through the rail
SaBbkes alive! I had tEbwenty-five more
SmBbokeys on my Ftail!
Now I had raBbcin' stripes and dual pipes
And SmEbokey had a Ford
Had a mBbill with a four pot carb, you know
But SmEbokey's stroked and bored
Well, the Bbrace was on, but I had the edge
With a rEbig that'll never fail
Got a CBbJ-5 with a fEbour-wheel drive
SeBbttin' out back a' the Fjail

Chords in this song · guitar

Well, we was screamin' through the valley

Where the Nishnabotna flows

Through the mud and crud and cornfields

Where the mari-ju-wana grows

'Cross the railroad tracks of Persia

Down the hills and up the dale

Bb Eb

Had a CJ-5 with a four-wheel drive

Bb F

And Smokey on my tail.

Well, he picked me up at exit 12

On the I-six-eighty ramp

I was doin' 67 per

When I rumbled through his trap

He commenced to whirl his flashin' lights

And he made his siren wail

Bb Eb

I slipped on down to four-wheel drive

With Smokey on my tail

Now I got racin' stripes and dual pipes

And Smokey's got a Ford

Got a mill with a four pot carb, you know

But Smokey's stroked and bored

Well, the chase was on, but I had the edge

With a rig that'll never fail

Bb Eb

Got a CJ-5 with a four-wheel drive

Bb F

And Smokey on my tail

Yeah, he was.

Well, I dropped on down to granny low

And I made a hard right turn

My big ol' fat Commando tires

Went slashin' through the corn

Well, the tassels blew and the kernels flew

And it looked like yella hail

Bb Eb

Just cookin' alive in a four-wheel drive

Bb F

With Smokey on my tail

Well, we went screamin' through the valley

Where the Nishnabotna flows

Through the mud and crud and cornfields

Where the mari-ju-wana grows

'Cross the railroad tracks of Persia

Up the hills and down the dales

Bb Eb

My CJ-5 with four-wheel drive

Bb F

And Smokey on my tail.

(Just play F through the next part.)

[Imagine a series of comic-style thought balloons.]

Look out, now. Here he come.

Oh, we gonna get it on now.

Don't hit that fella with the banjo.

We gonna swim this here creek now, Smokey.

Yard wide and a foot deep.

"Nishnabota River", they call it.

Might haveta winch out.

Gonna do a wheelie on that there gopher mound now, Smokey.

Can you dig it, Smokey?

Got four on the floor and four in the air on that one, didn't we?

Goodness gracious. 'Bout ta bust my shocks.

[Back to normal. Add sirens up until the racin' stripes and dual pipes part.]

Well, that Jeep of mine made Smokey whine

His rig was made of lead

He was mired in fourteen feet of mud

So he radioed ahead

I pulled up onto the blacktop

Went crashin' on through the rail

Bb Eb

Sakes alive! I had twenty-five more

Bb F

Smokeys on my tail!

Now I had racin' stripes and dual pipes

And Smokey had a Ford

Had a mill with a four pot carb, you know

But Smokey's stroked and bored

Well, the race was on, but I had the edge

With a rig that'll never fail

Bb Eb

Got a CJ-5 with a four-wheel drive

Bb F

Settin' out back a' the jail
