[Verse 1]
Had my money
I tell you what I'd do
I would go downtown
Buy a Mercury or two
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
[Chorus]
I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury
And I'll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
[Verse 2]
You know that gal I love
I stole her from a friend
Fool got lucky, stole her back again
Because she knowed he had a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
Well, she knowed he had a Mercury
And she cruise up and down this road
[Bridge]
Hey now, mama
Where'd you stay last night
Your hair's all down
Your clothes don't fit you right
[Verse 1]
Had my money
I tell you what I'd do
Go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
And I'll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
Ah
Ah
[Chorus]
I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury
And I'll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
[Outro]
I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury
Goin' to buy me a Mercury
Goin' to buy me a Mercury
Cruise, cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury
Buy me a Mercury
Goin' to buy me a Mercury
Cruise, cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
How, how, how, how, how, how, how, how
Got a new dance, I'm goin' to show it to you
Ow, ow, ow, ah-ow, ow, ow
Had my money
I tell you what I'd do
I would go downtown
Buy a Mercury or two
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
[Chorus]
I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury
And I'll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
[Verse 2]
You know that gal I love
I stole her from a friend
Fool got lucky, stole her back again
Because she knowed he had a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
Well, she knowed he had a Mercury
And she cruise up and down this road
[Bridge]
Hey now, mama
Where'd you stay last night

I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury
Buy me a Mercury
Goin' to buy me a Mercury
Cruise, cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
How, how, how, how, how, how, how, how
Got a new dance, I'm goin' to show it to you
Ow, ow, ow, ah-ow, ow, ow
