(Do-doot)

Dig it baby ain't it fine
That's my brand new wheels
Oh-who jump in baby 'cause it's all mine
You gotta see how good it feels

Yeh, I'll take you for a ride through the countryside
You and I can fly away sock it to the highway

In my . . .
Firebird, Firebird (Do-doot)
Firebird, Firebird (Do-doot)

Sit back baby close to me - yeh
Turn the AM on
Ah, real tight baby close your eyes
'Cause in a second we'll be gone

Yeh, we're gonna drive around gonna put the top down
You and I can fly away sock it to the highway

In my . . .
Firebird, Firebird (Do-doot)
Firebird, Firebird (Do-doot)

(Doot) Ah . . .
My my my baby (doot, doot, doot, do-doot)
My my my baby (doot, doot, doot, do-doot)
Here we go . . .

Gotta sit back baby close to me and
Turn the AM on
Yeh, real tight baby close your eyes
'Cause in a second we'll be gone

Yeh, we're gonna drive around gonna put the top down
You and I can fly away sock it to the highway

In my . . .
Firebird, Firebird (Do-doot)
Firebird, Firebird (Do-doot)

(Doot) Ah . . .
My my my baby (doot, doot, doot, do-doot)
Said here we go
Said here we go
Said here we go . . . woah-oo

ANDY RATING:

Veering close to doo-wop with a Brill Building song structure, this is not your typical bubblegum gum song. And it's certainly not your father's car anymore!

NOTES:

. . . B-Side to Chewy Chewy on Buddah 70 . . . both songs co-written with the premier "girl-of-gum" Kris Resnick . . . written about the car Joey Levine bought with his "Yummy Yummy Yummy" royalties . . . or Joey's first attempt at a commercial jingle? . . .
