 I bought a brand new airmobile
       N.C.
'Twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal
      N.C.
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing
N.C.
 Pushin’ on the button, you will hear her sing
[Chorus]
Now you Acan't catch me
Baby, you Ecan't catch me
Cause if you Bget too close

You know I'm going' like cool breeze

 ENew Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was Erolling slowly cause of drizzling showers
 EHere come a flat-top, he was moving up with me
Then come Ewaving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney
 EI put my foot in the tank, I began to roll
 EMoaning siren, 'twas the state patrol
 EI let out my wings, then I blew my horn
 EBye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborne
