Lyrics

As I passed by A real fine hotel A chick walked out She sure looked swell I gave her the eye And started to carry on When a Cadillac cruised up And 'swish' she was gone It should've been me With that real fine chick It should've been me With that real fine chick Hey, hey, hey, hey, driving that, Cadillac A little later on A theater I passed I spotted another chick And did she have class I was all set To write her name in my book When her husband came up and gave me a Real dirty look It should've been me With that real fine chick It should've been me With that real fine chick It should've been me To have been her chaperone When I got to the corner I saw a sharp cat With a 300 dollar suit on And a 100 dollar hat He was standing on the sidewalk By a DynaFlow When a voice within said "C'mon daddy, let's go" It should've been me With that real fine chick It should've been me With that real fine chick Hey, hey, hey, hey, driving that, DynaFlow I ate a bowl of chili And I felt okay At least until I passed This fine Cafe I saw a guy eatin' A great big steak While a waitress stood by feedin' him Ice cream and cake It should've been me With that real fine chick It should've been me With that real fine chick You know, it should've been me Eatin' ice cream and cake It should've been me Gettin' my natural kicks It should've been me Gettin' my natural kicks Hey, hey, hey, hey, lovin' those, crazy chicks...
