You can have yo' V8
You can have yo' Lincoln, chose
Give me my old Lizzie
I know what she will do

My old Lizzie gets cranky
But she's good as she can be
She maybe naive
But she's alright with me

'Play it!'

I love my Lizzie
I tell the world I do
I'm satisfied
That Lizzie loves her daddy, too

Old Lizzie is evil
She don't know how to be sweet
But when she lays her racket
I declare, it can't be beat

(instrumental & harmonica)

Good looks is skin deep
But ugly is to the bone
I'll have my old Lizzie
When yo' V8 is gone

My old Lizzie don't dip snuff
She don't run around
But give her alcohol
She sho' will go to town.
