If I had money, tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury too
I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

The girl a love, I stole her from a friend
He got lucky, stole her back again
Cause she knowed he had a Mercury
She knowed he had a Mercury
Gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Hey there Mama, you look so fine
Riding round in that Mercury '49
I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

My baby went out, she didn't stay long
She bought herself a Mercury
Come a-cruisin'home
I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road
