John Lennon - You Can't Catch Me Lyrics

I bought a brand new airmobile, 'twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal Push in on the button, you will hear her sing With a powerful motor and a hide away wing, Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me You know I'm goin' like cool breeze 'cause if you get too close, Well, you walk! You walk! Hey! Hey! I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin showers New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours, Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me, Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll, Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol I let out my wings, then I blew my horn, Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborn Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze Now you can't catch me, Hey! Well, you walk! Yeah, walk! I bought a brand new airmobile, 'twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal Push in on the button, you will hear her sing With a powerful motor and a hide away wing, Baby, you can't catch me Now you can't catch me, 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze Hey! Hey! Well, you walk! You walk! Flying with my baby last Saturday night, Cuddle up, honey, be my love Wasn't a grey cloud floatin' in sight Big, full moon, shinin' up above, Sweetest little thing that I ever seen, I'm gonna name you Maybellene Flying on the beam, set on flight control, Radio tuned to rock and roll Two, three hours passed us by, Altitude dropped into five-o-five Fuel consumption, way too fast, Let's get on home before we run out of gas Now you can't catch me, 'cause if you get too close, Baby, you can't catch me You know I'm goin' like cool breeze Git it on! Yeah, walk! Git it on, git it on, git it on, do it! Git it on, git it on! You know you can't catch me!
