LYRICS

Mustang Sally,
guess you better slow your mustang down.
Ah well I say it now
Mustang Sally, now baby
oh no, guess you better slow your mustang down.
You've been runnin' all over town, now.
Oh! Guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.

Ah well I say it now, listen.
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)
One of these early mornings oh, gonna be wiping your weeping eyes.

Well I said now,
I bought you a brand new mustang
'bout nineteen sixty-six.
Now you come around signifyin' a woman,
you don't want to let me ride.
Mustang Sally, now baby,
guess you better slow your mustang down.
Oh now listen
you'd been running all over town.
Oh! Gonna put your flat feet on the ground
what have I said now.

Now all you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)
[fade out]
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally. ride.
