I was cruis-in\’ in my Sting-ray late one night
3 3 4 -54 -3 3 -3* -3*-3 3
When an X-K-E pulled up on my right
3 -4 4 4 -5 -5
He rolled down the win-dow
4 -4 -5 -5 6 -5
of his shin-y new Jag
-3 -3 -4 -3 -3 4 4 -4 -3
Chal-lenged me then and there to a drag
3 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5
I said, \”you\’re on, bud-dy,
3 -5 -5 6 -5
my mill\’s run-nin\’ fine
3 5 5 -5 5
Let\’s come off the line,
-3 3 -3* -3* -3 3
now, at Sun-set and Vine
3 3 -4 -4 4 -5 -5
But I\’ll go you one bet-ter
-4 -4 -5 6 -5
if you got the nerve
-4 -3 -3 -4 -3
Let\’s race all the way
-1 -1 -1 -4
To Dead Man\’s Curve\”
Chorus:

Dead Man\’s Curve, it\’s no place to play

Dead Man\’s Curve, I can hear \’em say:

Ooh

\”Won\’t come back from Dead Man\’s Curve\”

The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin\’ each other
while we sat out the light
We both popped the clutch
when the light turned green
You shoulda heard the whine
from my screamin\’ machine
I flew past LaBrea, Schwab\’s,
and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six tailights
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were
At Dead Man\’s Curve
Partial chorus:
Dead Man\’s Curve, it\’s no place to play
Dead Man\’s Curve
Dramatic interlude:
Well – the last thing I remember,
Doc, I started to swerve
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
I know I\’ll never forget that horrible sight
I guess I found out for myself
that everyone was right
\”Won\’t come back from Dead Man\’s Curve\”
