Chuck Berry - No Money Down Lyrics

As I was motivatin'

Back in town

I saw a Cadillac sign

Sayin' "No Money Down"

So I eased on my brakes

And I pulled in the drive

Gunned my motor twice

Then I walked inside

Dealer came to me

Said "Trade in you Ford

And I'll put you in a car

That'll eat up the road

Just tell me what you want

And then sign on that line

And I'll have it brought down to you

In a hour's time"



I'm gonna get me a car

And I'll be headed on down the road

Then I won't have to worry

About that broken - down, ragged Ford



"Well Mister I want a yellow convertible

Four - door de Ville

With a Continental spare

And a wide chrome wheel

I want power steering

And power brakes

I want a powerful motor

With a jet off - take

I want air condition

I want automatic heat

And I want a full Murphy bed

In my back seat

I want short - wave radio

I want TV and a phone

You know I gotta talk to my baby

When I'm ridin' alone"



Yes I'm gonna get that car

And I'm gonna head on down the road

Yeah, then I won't have to worry

About that broken - down, ragged Ford



"I want four carburetors

And two straight exhausts

I'm burnin' aviation fuel

No matter what that cost

I want railroad air horns

And a military spot

And I want a five - year guarantee

On everything I got

I want ten - dollar deductible

I want twenty dollar notes

I want thirty thousand liability"

That's all she wrote



I got me a car

And I'm headed on down the road

No money down

I don't have to worry

About that broken - down, ragged Ford
