Lyrics
A hot and steamy day. My AC it don't work. My window won't roll down cause there's no handle. The hood is primer gray. The trunk it don't stay shut. The hubcaps were all stolen by some vandals.
You know it stalls at every light. The tires are bald and one light shines... on bright.
Pre -
Wouldn't it be nice to have, something made of steel? Wouldn't it be nice if this fantasy was real?
Chorus-
A Thunderbird with the front end painted flames. A V-8 burning just the same. A rag-top, on a sunny day. A Thunderbird.
My radio don't work. But, that don't bother me. I'm gettin' stoned on emissions. I can't get a date. I can't get a girl. They know when they're with me they might be pushin'.
The windshield wipers just don't wipe, the front end shakes and pulls... to the right.
