Am cruising with my baby, together on the road,
The radio is playing, in romantic mode,
The Sun is brightly shining, birds are in the air,
Really am enjoying, my Chevrolet Bel Air!
One hand is on the wheel, the other on her knee,
Together on that broad bench, we're happy as can be,
I push the pedal down, she smiles without a care,
The windowpane is open, wind runs through her hair.
I see a blue light shining, I hear a siren cry,
A police car behind me, wants me to stop, Oh My!
The officer is friendly, walks around my wheels,
Shakes my hand and asks me, can we make a deal?
My Chevrolet Bel Air, my Chevrolet Bel Air!
Hear that engine running, brings me anywhere,
My Chevrolet Bel Air, my Chevrolet Bel Air!
Love that car so dearly, yeah that's only fair!
Even a New model, I really don’t care
I always will be True, to my Chevrolet Bel Air
I was to write you a ticket # for driving way too fast
But now I see your Chevy # I think I'll let it pass
Only one condition #so please make up your mind
Allow me to drive it for a mile and then you won't get fined
Thought that was OK, and so we made a deal,
He stepped into mij Chevy,right behind the wheel
We saw him taking off,with a lightning speed,
Leaving us behind, in the mid day heat.
When he was returning, we spotted him afar,
To our surprise, he drove behind a police car.
The officer stopped (and) pulled his window down,
Is this your Chevy? He asked me with a frown,
I said yes, well than it is true,
My colleague told me, it belongs to you,
Arrested him for speeding on the track,
This Chevy is yours, I'm giving it you back.
So now we keep on driving, as happy as can be,
When a police car appears, we pretend not to see.
My Chevrolet Bel Air, my Chevrolet Bel Air!
Hear that engine running, brings me anywhere,
My Chevrolet Bel Air, my Chevrolet Bel Air!
Love that car so dearly, yeah that's only fair!
Even a New model, I really don’t care
I always will be True, to my Chevrolet Bel Air
