The Rip Chords The Best of the Rip Chords Lyrics
1.Hey Little Cobra

Lyricist:Carol Connors, Marshal Connors

Hey little cobra, don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down

I took my Cobra down to the track
Hitched to the back of my Cadillac
Everyone was there just a-waitin' for me
There were plenty of Stingrays and XKE

Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra, get ready to strike)
Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra with all of your might)

Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra, get ready to strike)
Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra with all of your might)
Hey little Cobra, don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down

When the flag went down, you could hear rubber burn
The Stingray had me goin' into the turn
I hung a big shift and I got into high
And when I flew by the Stingray, I waved bye-bye

Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra, get ready to strike)
Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra with all of your might)

Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra, get ready to strike)
Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra with all of your might)
Hey little Cobra, don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down

Around the far turn in the straight-away
I was blowin' off everythin' that got in my way
The Stingrays and Jags were so far behind
I took my Cobra out of gear and let it coast to the line

Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra, get ready to strike)
Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra with all of your might)

Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra, get ready to strike)
Shut 'em down
(Spring little Cobra with all of your might)
Hey little Cobra, don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em down, shut 'em down
Shut 'em down, shut 'em down, shut 'em down


2.Three Window Coupe

Lyricist:Jan Berry, Roger Christian

Three window coupe, you're the toughest machine in town
Got a three window coupe that's short on looks
But she looks real good in the record books
I hold the track record in the quarter mile
With a low E.T. down the asphalt aisle

Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, shut 'em down
Three window coupe, you're the toughest in town
Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, shut 'em down, now
Three window coupe, make a trophy run
Three window coupe, you're the toughest machine in town

Now, I know my coupe's not the sharpest around
But everybody knows she's the hottest in town
My hydro pressure heads make it twelve to one
And Sunday at the drag stop there's a trophy run

Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, shut 'em down
Three window coupe, you're the toughest in town
Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, shut 'em down, now
Three window coupe, make a trophy run
Three window coupe, you're the toughest machine in town

Now, my little three window don't look like much
Till the flag goes down and I pop the clutch
Then I put my foot in it and I really go
And take off on tubes of a three window

Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, shut 'em down
Three window coupe, you're the toughest in town
Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, shut 'em down, now
Three window coupe, make a trophy run
Three window coupe, you're the toughest machine in town

Toughest machine in town
Toughest machine in town
Toughest machine in town
Toughest machine in town
Toughest machine in town
