Wild Wild Mustang Song Lyrics:
I say hey Mustang, giddy up scout
Little Deuce Coupe let’s tag it out
Tell me now are you ready to go
If you wanna punch it sharp just let me know.
Wild, wild Mustang go! go!
Little King of the Road from the Fo’ Mo’ Co’
My Mustang’s got a little belly ache
Sittin’ on the line but the stance is straight
Under the pony’s aluminum hide
A little Cobra mill is a-beating inside
Wild, wild Mustang go, go
Little King of the Road from the Fo’ Mo’ Co’
Two ducts of eighty-nine, the bore is floored
Positraction and four on the floor
The 4-barrel carbs, the dual exhausts
Crab key six and then get lost!
Tires are screaming as the mill starts to wail
Like the Pony Express I can carry the mail
The new little horse that tops the road
It comes from the stable of the Fo’ Mo’ Co’
Wild, wild Mustang go, go
Little King of the Road from the Fo’ Mo’ Co’
