Lyrics John Lennon

John Lennon

You Can't Catch Me

I bought a brand new airmobile

'Twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal

With a powerful motor and a hide away wing

Push in on the button, you will hear her sing

Now you can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

Cause if you get too close

You know I'm going' like cool breeze

Hey! Hey!

Well, you walk!

You walk!

New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours

I was rolling slowly cause of drizzling showers

Here come a flat-top, he was moving up with me

Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney

I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll

Moaning siren, 'twas the state patrol

I let out my wings, then I blew my horn

Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborne

Now you can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

Cause if you get too close

You know I'm going' like cool breeze

Hey!

Well, you walk!

Yeah, walk!

I bought a brand new airmobile

'twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal

With a powerful motor and a hide away wing

Push in on the button, you will hear her sing

Now you can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

'cause if you get too close

You know I'm going' like cool breeze

Hey! Hey!

Well, you walk!

You walk!

Flying with my baby last Saturday night

Wasn't a gray cloud floating in sight

Big, full moon, shining up above

Cuddle up, honey, be my love

Sweetest little thing that I ever seen

I'm going to name you Maybellene

Flying on the beam, set on flight control

Radio tuned to rock and roll

Two, three hours passed us by,

Altitude dropped into five-o-five

Fuel consumption, way too fast

Let's get on home before we run out of gas

Now you can't catch me,

Baby, you can't catch me

Cause if you get too close

You know I'm going' like cool breeze

Get it on!

Yeah, walk!

Get it on, get it on, get it on, do it!

Get it on, get it on!

You know you can't catch me!
