#1.
G
Well, I was toolin' down the highway in my
beat up fifty-three..smokin' like a steamship
with the po-lice after me.
C
When I passed the business district, just then
G
I saw..a Cadillac Motor sign sayin', trade your
run-down car.
D
Well, I pulled up in the alley tore my clutch right
G
outta the floor and I was half-way in the dealer's
when the cops flew by the door.
CHORUS:
G
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer..like they build in
G7
fifty-nine.
C
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer..one that'll blast-off
G
'cross the line.

And when I hit that open roadway..man, I really wanna fly.

#2.
G
Well, I bought that big black Cadillac and I took off down
the road..I adjusted my rear view mirror then I spied that
po-lice Ford.
C
They was comin' after me, boy, with their red lights all aglow..
G
so I whupped that wheel around and I took off down a dirt
side-road.
D C
That big machine wouldn't make the turn and the cops they
grabbed a-hold of me.
G
And the last I seen my Cadillac, it was wrapped around a tree.
