  • Well, if I had money
    I tell you what I'd do
    I'd go downtown, buy a mercury or two
    Crazy 'bout a mercury
    Lord, I'm crazy bout a mercury
    I'm gonna buy me a mercury
    And cruise it up and down the road

    Well, the girl I love
    I stole her from a friend
    He got lucky, stole her back again
    She heard he had a mercury
    Lord, she's crazy 'bout a mercury
    I'm gonna buy me a mercury
    And cruise it up and down the road

    (Ah, let's go)

    Well, hey now, mama
    You look so fine
    Ridin' 'round in your mercury '49
    Crazy 'bout a mercury
    Lord, I'm crazy 'bout a mercury
    I'm gonna buy me a mercury
    And cruise it up and down the road

    (Oh, put it in high gear now)

    Well, my baby went out
    She didn't stay long
    Bought herself a mercury, come a cruisin' home
    She's crazy 'bout a mercury
    Yeah, she's crazy 'bout a mercury
    I'm gonna buy me a mercury
    And cruise it up and down the road

    (Oh, cruise now)

    Well, if I had money
    I tell you what I'd do
    I'd go downtown and buy a mercury or two
    Crazy 'bout a mercury
    Lord, I'm crazy 'bout a mercury
    I'm gonna buy me a mercury
    And cruise it up and down the road
    I'm gonna buy me a mercury
    And cruise it up and down the road
    Yeah, I'm gonna buy me a mercury
    And cruise it up and down the road
