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 shes good as she can be
She maybe naive
But shes alright with me

Play it!

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

Old Lizzie is evil
She dont know how to be sweet
But when she lays her racket
I declare, it cant be beat

(instrumental & harmonica)

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

My old Lizzie dont dip snuff
She dont run around
But give her alcohol
She sho will go to town.
