Lyrics :

Well, the wreck on the highway, the traffic's pilin' up
I gotta see my baby and I can't go fast enough
Why don't you people learn to drive, huh
You know you just might stay alive
Oh, ain't it a shame, the smoke an' the flames
I think you people is nuts
Well, there's a hot-rod flyin' down the far-right, huh
He's gonna turn a-left, I think that man's insane
Why don't you people learn to drive, huh
You know you, just might survive
Well if you drive me crazy
You'll be pushing the daisies
I think you people is crazy

Well there's a big diesel pullin' up the highway ramp
The think he didn't know was that his brakes was damp
Why don't you people learn to drive, huh
You know you just might stay alive
Oh, ain't it a shame, the smoke an' the flames
I think you people is nuts

...Repeat the first...
