No Money Down Songtext
von Chuck Berry

As I was motorvatin′, back in town
I saw a Cadillac sign said "No money down"
So I eased on my brakes and I pulled up in the drive
Gunned my motor twice, then I walked inside
The dealer came to me, he said, "Trade in that Ford
And I'll put you in a car that′ll eat up the road
Just tell me what you want, and then sign that line
I'll have it brought down to you in a half hour's time"

I′ma get that car, yeah, and I′m gon' head on down the road
Ah, then I won′t have to be worried
With that broken down, ragged Ford


Well, mister, I want a yellow convertible with a four-door De Ville
With a Continental spare and the wire chrome wheel
I want power steering, and I want power brakes
And I want a powerful motor with a jet off take
I want air condition, and I want automatic heat
Then I want a rollaway bed comin' out of my back seat
I want a shortwave radio, and I want TV and a phone
So I can talk to my loved ones when I′m out cruisin' alone

I′ma get that car, yeah, and I'm headin' down the road
Yeah, then I won′t have to be worried
With that broken down, ragged Ford

And I want railroad air horns, and I want a military spot
Then I want a five-year guarantee on everything I got
I want a ten-dollar deductible and twenty-dollar notes
Thirty thousand liability, that′s all she wrote

I'ma get that car, yeah, and I′m headin' down the road
Then I won′t have to be worried
With that broken down, ragged Ford

Thank you very much
And now, "Sweet 16"
