Can't Catch Me
I bought a brand new air-mobile
It was custom-made, 'twas a Flight De Ville
With a powerful motor and same
Hideaway wings
Push in on the button
And you can hear her sing
Now you can't catch me,
No, no, no baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close,
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnbike in the wee wee hours
I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers
Here come a flat-top
He was movin' up with me
Then came wave goodbye
You little souped up mini
I put my foot in my tank and I began to roll
Moanin' siren, 'twas a state patrol
So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn
Bye bye New Jersey, I've become airborne
Now you can't catch me,
No baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close,
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Flyin'with my baby last Saturday night
Not a grey cloud floatin'in sight
Big full moon shinin'up above
Cuddle up honey, be my love
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
I'm gonna name you Maybellene
Fuel consumption way too fast
Let's go on home
Before we went out of gas
Now you can't catch me,
No baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close,
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
No you can't catch me
No, no, no, no, no you can't catch me
You can't catch me
Oh baby, you can't catch me
You can't catch me
Oh baby, you can't catch me
Don't get to far
Yeah, you catch me
You can't catch me
You can't catch me
It was custom-made, 'twas a Flight De Ville
With a powerful motor and same
Hideaway wings
Push in on the button
And you can hear her sing
Now you can't catch me,
No, no, no baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close,
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnbike in the wee wee hours
I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers
Here come a flat-top
He was movin' up with me
Then came wave goodbye
You little souped up mini
I put my foot in my tank and I began to roll
Moanin' siren, 'twas a state patrol
So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn
Bye bye New Jersey, I've become airborne
Now you can't catch me,
No baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close,
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Flyin'with my baby last Saturday night
Not a grey cloud floatin'in sight
Big full moon shinin'up above
Cuddle up honey, be my love
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen

Before we went out of gas
Now you can't catch me,
No baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close,
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
No you can't catch me
No, no, no, no, no you can't catch me
You can't catch me
Oh baby, you can't catch me
You can't catch me
Oh baby, you can't catch me
Don't get to far
Yeah, you catch me
You can't catch me
You can't catch me
