She filled the leatherette seat full of cigarette burns
Goodbye all the front
Goodbye all about
Stop this car cause I'm getting out
That's right
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out

Oh well I'm not gonna wait till we land in a brook
And have all the little fishies swim by and take a look
And have flounders laughing at us with the little brook trout
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
I say stop this car I'm getting out!

All right

(What's he so uptight about?)
("Smoke some of this man")
("And act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?")
No
This time I'm gonna scream and shout

Suppose a big truck has no luck with his load
There'll be narrow ??? little fellows scattered all about
So I say stop this car this is where I'm getting out!
You know
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
I say stop this car I'm getting out!

All right
("Jonathan don't make a scene!")
Ok tell them to wait till the light turns green man
(Your vibes are so uptight)
Oh but not for long, because I'm saying good night

She's taken three red lights
She's taken four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seats full of cigarette burns
Goodbye in the front
Goodbye all about

This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car, I'm getting out

Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

"Mellow out man, mellow out"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, what's he so uptight about?"
"Oh yeah?"
"Smoke some of this man"
"And act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?" forget it
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

Stop this car I'm getting out!

Suppose the big deer runs across the road
Suppose the truck hits a rock ???
All you mellow little fellows scattered all about
Stop this, I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

"Jonathan don't make a scene!"
"Ok, tell her to wait until the light turns green" that's all
"Hey man your vibes are so uptight"
"Oh, but not for long pal, I'm saying good night"

She's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seats full of cigarette burns
Good bye in the front
Good bye all about
Stop this car this is where I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out! (one more time)

I'm saying
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car because I'm getting out!

Yeah

So far she's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seat full of cigarette burns
Good-bye in the front
Good-bye all about
Stop it right here cause I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

Well I'm not gonna wait until we land in the brook
And have all the little fishies swim by and take a look
Now the carp is laughing at us with the brook trout
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

"Mellow out man, mellow out"
"What do you mean mellow out?"
"Yeah, what's he so uptight about?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Smoke some of this man"
"You mean and act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?", forget that
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

Stop this car I'm getting out!

Look, suppose a big deer runs clear cross the road
Suppose the truck hits a rock in this road
All you mellow little fellows, scattered all about
Stop this car because I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop it right here I'm getting out!

"Jonathan don't make a scene!"
"Look just tell her to wait till the light turns green, that's all"
"Hey man you're wild man, like your vibes are so uptight"
"Yeah, but not for long pal, I'm saying good night"

She's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seats all full of cigarette burns, that's a bad sign
Bye in the front
Bye in the back
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

Yeah

This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

She's got the leatherette seats full of cigarette burns
Goodbye in the front

This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

Mississippi Nights

Lyrics

[I want to do this one for you
It's a song called, see I was at a wedding, and well the ride home was a little shaky
I made up this song called 'Stop this Car, I'm Getting out' ]

So far she's taken [I wanna do it in E in fact, get this song right]

So far she's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seat full of cigarette burns
Good-bye in the front
Good-bye all about
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

Oh no, I'm not gonna wait until we land in the brook
And have all the little fishies swim by and take a look
Have them all laughing at us with the little brook trout
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

"Hey mellow out man, just mellow out"
"Yeah, what's he always so uptight about?"
"Smoke some of this stuff man"
"You mean and act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?"

Suppose a big deer runs clear across the road
Suppose that truck hits a rock, sonny
All you mellow little fellows gonna be scattered all about
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car because I'm getting out!

"Jonathan, you always make a scene!"
"All right, just tell her to wait until the light turns green, that's all"
"Hey man, your vibes are so uptight"
"Not for long pal, I'm saying good night"

One more time, yeah

I say, this time we're gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

[Well I went to a wedding you know and the ride home was a little shaky,
Now and this song is called "Stop this car because I'm getting out"]

This is a 1 a 2 a 1 2 3 4

So far she's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She got the leatherette seat full of cigarette burns
Good-bye in the front
Good-bye all about
We're gonna stop this car I'm getting out
This time we're gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

No no I'm not gonna wait until we land in the brook
And have all the little fishies come by and take a look
Have them all laughing at us with the little brook trout
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time we're gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

"Mellow out man, mellow out"
"No, no"
"Yeah, what's he so uptight about?"
"Smoke "
"And act like an ostrich with his head in the sand? no way"
This time we're gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

Stop this I'm getting out!

Suppose that deer runs clear cross the road
Suppose that truck hits a rock buddy
All you mellow little fellows gonna be scattered all about
Stop this right here I'm getting out
This time we're gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

"Jonathan don't make a scene!"
"All right, just tell her to wait till the light turns green"
"Hey man your vibes I mean they are so uptight"
"Yeah, but not for long, cause I'm saying good night"

She's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seats full of cigarette burns (which is bad ???)
Good bye in the front
Good bye all about
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time we're gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm a one more time
This time we're gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out

Good-bye in the front
Good-bye all about
Stop this car I'm getting out

And have all the little fishies swim by and take a look
Have them all laughing at us with the brook trout
Stop this car I'm getting out

"Yeah, what's he so uptight about?"
"Smoke some of this man"
"And act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?"
This time ??? chilling
Oh that driver has got to go
