One Piece at a Time - Peter Principles
Well I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me
Puttin' wheels on Cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one
That was long and black
One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there
In a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all
By the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth
At least a hundred grand
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me
When I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round
So the very next day
When I punched in
With my big lunchbox
And with help from my friends
I left that day
With a lunch box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it
Out over several years
The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission
And all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts an' bolts
And all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out
In my buddy's mobile home
Now up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed
That something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put
In the bolts all the holes were gone
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help
With an adapter kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch
All three of 'em come on
The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together
And when we got through
Well that's when we noticed
That we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes
That she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said
"Honey take me for a spin"
So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin'
For blocks around
But up there at the court house
They didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through
The title weighed sixty pounds
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me
When I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
Uh yow Red Ryder this is the cotton mouth
In the Psycho-Billy Cadillac come on
Huh this is the cotton mouth
And negatory on the cost of
This mow-chine there Red Ryder
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up it's cheaper that way
Uh what model is it
Well it's a '49 '50
'51 '52 '53 '54 '55 '56
'57 '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60 '61
'62 '63 '64 '65 '66 '67
'68 '69 '70 automobile
