| Dead Man's Curve Jan & Dean (Christian/Berry/Kornfeld/Wilson)
I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night When an XKE pulled up on the right And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag And challenged me then and there to a drag I said, "you're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine Let's come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve Let's race all the way To Dead Man's Curve"
Chorus:
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say: "Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
The street was deserted late Friday night We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light We both popped the clutch when the light turned green You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine I flew past LaBrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights And all the Jag could see were my six taillights He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve But I pulled her out and there we were At Dead Man's Curve
Partial chorus:
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play Dead Man's Curve
Dramatic interlude:
Well - the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve I know I'll never forget that horrible sight I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
[repeat chorus to fade]
THE LITTLE OLD LADY (FROM PASADENA) Jan and Dean
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
The little old lady from Pasadena (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) But parked in a rickety old garage Is a brand new, shiny red Super Stock Dodge
CHORUS: And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner Than the little old lady from Pasadena (She drives real fast and she drives real hard) She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena If you see her on the street don't try to choose her (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) Well, she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later 'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator
CHORUS
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) The guys come to race her for miles around But she'll give 'em a length and then she'll shut 'em down
CHORUS
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go *REPEAT 6 TIMES
