Verse 1:
What is it exactly that you were
Expecting to hear me say
I’m still over achieving checking my facts
I didn’t get that hit yet but that’s ok
Because I still got bad jokes
And an occasional message to convey
And I still like to switch it up time to time
Because finding something new always brightens my day
It can’t all be ska-punk 24/7/52/365 (hut hut)
50/50 best 2 out of 3 is still
Good to keep me rockin’ out to these vibes
Chorus 1:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
Verse 2:
Now I won’t go slow easily
So pick it up, come on let’s roll
Accelerate me to the limit
Then put me on cruise control
Now turn left turn right turn here
Tturn round lay it down for me out on the floor
Then put it back on me and get ready
Don’t stop di-did I stutter just shout for more
You’re heating up speeding up oh so fast
So keep stoking that friendly fire
But don’t you make me out to be the villain
When I say you gotta take it hi-hi-higher
Chorus 2:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
Verse 3:
Tan caliente ahora
La leche fue una mala elección
I’m not quite sure what that meant
So I think it’s time we cooled it down, but we ain’t done
Until our day dreams cover the nightmares
And wake us up before we go
Go ahead and swallow the pill
Even if it’s red green blue or some tight snares
Who cares keep calm
Carry on and follow the drums
Chorus 3:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
Chorus 4:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
