The Lyrics

This song works best if you are pretty familiar with the varied verses of the original (readily available on YouTube). Thanks Rick, not the inspiration for this song, but for inspiring me to try parodies!
I guess I gotta problem - keep it jest ‘tween me and you,
I used ter have it only now and then.
But it’s been hap’nen lately way beyond a time or two,
Oh gosh I wish I wuz how I wuz when.
To look at me ya think I have no care.
But guys, it’s only seemin’, just beware.

I'm just a guy who cain't go slow,
Gas on the pedal seems great.
She’s puttin’ on a lovely show,
But I’m already out the gate.

When a feller tries to win a gal,
His machine should follow up with every whim.
But as I attempt to git in gear
My stick shift sorta leaves me on a limb.

I cain’t hold back the urge to blow.
Gal’s got no time to react.
Varoom, uh oh, I cain’t come back,
Blink and you’ve missed my whole act,
I cain't go slow.

How ya gonna cope when a gal looks dishevelly,
Revs up your Chevy, how ya gonna cope?
Sposin’ she says that your chassis is classy,
Or brassy or sassy, how ya gonna cope?
Let’s say you’re a thinkin’ ‘bout parkin’ and sparkin’
And your plugs gonna fire to the sky.
How do you handle when the ‘quipment wants to ramble -
Throttle and die?

I'm just a guy who cain't go slow,
Cain’t seem to brake it at all.
Cripes me to disengage my clutch,
Just when we’re havin’ a ball.

If at first I play the big honcho,
A-idlin’ with my purty words and jools,
Then I’ve overshot and off I go,
What good’s the game if you cain’t trust your tools?

How can I please my sweetie pie,
If she unhitches her belt,
With that ole glint in her eye,
I go kablooeee and melt,
I cain't go slow.

Filling a void here, not many do these musicals because they're tough. Looks like a new. I'd like to know what there is to dread, lady

Family nickname. Calvin, of Calvin and Hobbes, called his mom that. Can be useful to be dreaded, in the mom biz.
