Stop This Car

Jonathan Richman

[Intro]
All right this is a-one, a-two
A-one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
So far she's taken three red lights, four wrong turns
She’s got the leatherette seat full o' cigarette burns
Goodbye in the front, goodbye all about
Stop this car, I'm gettin’ out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car, I'm gettin' out

[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna wait until we land in the brook
And have all the little fishies swim by and take a look
Now they're all laughing at us with the little brook trout
Stop this car, I'm gettin' out
This time I’m gonna scream and shout
Stop this car, I’m gettin' out

[Verse 3]
"Mellow out, man, mellow out"
"No, no"
"Yeah, what’s he so uptight about?"
"No, no, no, no"
"Smoke some of this, man"
"And act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?"
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
I say, stop this car I'm getting out!

[Verse 4]
[Scatting]
I say stop this car I am gettin' out

[Verse 5]
Suppose that deer runs ’cross the road
Suppose that truck hits a rock in front of us
All you mellow little fellows gonna be scattered about
Stop this car, I'm gettin' out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car, thanks, I'm gettin' out

[Verse 6]
"Jonathan, don't make a scene"
"Okay, just tell her to wait 'til the light turns green"
"You're wild, man, like, your vibes are so uptight"
"Yeah, but not for long, pal, I'm sayin' good night"

[Verse 7]
She's taken three red lights, four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seats full o' cigarette burns
Bye in the front, bye all about
Stop this car, I'm gettin' out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car, I'm gettin' out

[Outro]
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car, I'm gettin' out
