Lyrics

I'm a road runner, honey

(Beep-beep)

(Beep-beep)

(Beep-beep!)

(Beep-beep!)

I'm a road runner, honey

And you can't keep up with me

(Beep-beep)

I'm a road runner, honey

And you can't keep up with me

(Beep-beep)

Come on, let's race

Baby, baby, you will see

(Beep-beep)

Here I come

(Beep-beep!)

Move over, honey

Let me by

Move over, baby

Let this man by

I'm gonna show you baby, look out your head

Gonna put some dirt in your eye

Here I go!

(Beep-beep, beep-beep)

Oh yea, how am I doin?

Beep! Beep!

Take my hand, baby

I'm gonna prove to you that I'm a, a road-running man

I wanna show you somethin'

That I'm the fastest in the land

Now let me by

(Beep-beep!)

Oh yeah, you said you fast

But it don't look like you gonna last

Goodbye! I've got to put you down

I'll see you some day

Baby, somewhere hangin' around

(Beep-beep!)

(Beep-beep!)

(Beep-beep!)
