We Didn't Start the Fire

I didn't see the Yellow

 

TechPro, heel and toe, Marlboro, GO GO GO,
For the show, I don't know, if the grip is too low!
Hockenheim, Hammer time, marbles off the racing line,
Gravel trap, Gurney flap, you must always leave a gap!

Overtake, lock the brake, which team has the highest rake?
Oversteer, privateer, hide that from the scruitineer!
Ice cream, 3 car team, halo or a windscreen?
Open wheel, tyre squeal, Piquet's crash was not real!

I didn't see the yellow!
I was busy racing with this other fellow!
I didn't want the drive-through!
Red mist came down on me and I'm very sorry!

Looks fast, it won't last, it was better in the past,
Change the diff, roll bar stiff, tyres falling off the cliff!
Dirty air, look don't stare, engine freeze is unfair,
Green track, steering rack, four wheels off the track!

Five red lights, race at night, who can pay the TV rights?
F1 (trademark), lots of racing in the dark!
Silverstone, Bridgestone, carbon fibre wishbone,
Chequred flag, turbo lag, Alejandro Agag!

I didn't see the yellow!
I was busy racing with this other fellow!
I didn't want the drive-through!
Red mist came down on me and I'm very sorry!

AMG, strategy, Paris basement orgy,
Breakaway, bales of hay, live to fight another day!
Bahrain, Trulli train, Mercedes win again,
Rev limit, engine lube, take that down from youtube!

Testing ban, rabid fan, get up early for Japan!
Parc fermé, Pedro Lamy, Emmo Fittipaldi,
Zanardi, Venturi, Lotus and their twin chassis!
ABS, Ground effect, engineering defect!

Brilliant. But far too much effort has gone into that.

Bad 'Move' Rising by CCR

I see a bad move arising,
I see trouble on the way.
I see caps thrown and fighting,
I see no more points today.

Don't put up a fight,
Cos Hammy won't judge it right,
There's a bad move on the rise.

I see yellow flags are waving,
I see a safety car as well.
Hammy's emotions overflowing,
Nico's been punted off again.

Don't put up a fight,
Cos Hammy won't judge it right,
There's a bad move on the rise.

I see RedBull and Ferrari laughing,
Toto doesn't know just what to say.
Niki is fuming and ranting,
Hammy can't have it all his way...

The Spanish Conspiricy

As soon as the Mercs crashed at the front corner,
A plan had been hatched by Christian Horner.
If Daniel should win there won't be as much press,
But if Verstappen wins, we'll cement him as 'best'

When I'm not ghost writing for Drake aka Drizzy, I'm writing bars for Hammy aka Hizzy.

Hard Race Night

 

It's been a hard race night, and I've been driving like a dog
It's been a hard race night, I should be winning like pro
But when I get (motor)home to you and find the laptimes you do
Will make me feel all blue

[Tony Mandara]

A topical ode to bad strategists.
(Whitesnake: Here I go again)

Here I go again on my own.
An' it must be the only strategy they know.
Now I'm driftin' on these tires worn to the bone.
Can't stay on the racing line.
And always pitting at the wrong time.
But here they go again!

Here's another one:

 

Old Man River Kimi, performed by Sebastian Vettel:

There's an old man
and we call him Kimi
He's the team mate
who is right for me.

What does he care if
his team mate beats him?
What does does he care
for his salary?

Old man Kimi,
that old man Kimi,
he drove in rally,
got a good tally.
He then joined Renault
and said please leave me alone.

He had that ice cream,
the rain was pouring,
and all the viewers,
they found it boring.
And old man Kimi,
he knew it would be half points.

Now with me, at Ferrari,
we get on well, in harmony.
Lift and coast,
save those tyres,
he has no feel,
for brake by wires.

I'm not weary,
or sick of trying,
but them Mercedes,
are often flying,
and when they crashed out,
the race was won by Red Bull.

Not the real lyrics of a song, but more of a poem. Though English is not my native language, i've given it a try.

 

 

 

'One day, my son
A real racing hero you become

Through the air you punch a hole
With screaming engine you fly to pole

When the lights turn green
The eyes behind your visor will be mean

 

At the start, faster than a bullit you hit the track
Everybody will  see your back

 

When you start accelerating and hit the curbs
You know no fears,  nothing that disturbs

 

In your mirror you’ll see your teammate
You won’t let him pass when his move is not great

 

Eau Rouge and Becketts you will not fear
As you hit their apexes like a spear

 

When you take the checkered flag first
The champaign will satisfy your thirst

 

Taking the fastest corners almost to the bone
It only takes an instant before you’re gone

 

Maybe that’s my biggest fear
But hell, I know you can steer

 

So son, with one thing you love doing most
Please don’t live a life that is lost'

[wati]

Hurst, Edelbrock, 1/4 mile ... Guess it fits.

[DampMongoose]

I don't know about anyone else but I find myself returning and singing RSouls song over and over.

[DampMongoose]

All we hear is Vettel go ga-ga
Vettel shout poo-poo
Radio ga-ga
All we hear is Vettel go ga-ga
Vettel shout blah blah
Kyvat, what's new?
Daniil, someone still loves you

[Mila]

Ham Ham was a man who thought he was winner
But he knew he wouldn't get past
Ham Ham left the track outside of Barcelona
For some Catalonia grass

 

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, Ham Ham

 

Richie Nico Rosberg thought he was a winner
But he was an also-ran

All the cars got past him as his Merc was spinning
Ending in that turn four sand

 

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, Richie Nico

 

Toto was a man who thought he had two winners
But what became of best-laid plans?

He and Paddy Cake channeled disappointment 

Ellos estaban comiendo flan

 

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, Toto

 

[Spoken]

Get back, Merc boys

Niki's waiting for you

Wearing his Novomatic hat

And his v-neck sweater

Get back home, Merc boys

[Maustinsj]

   

[Turboflame]

‘Let’s stay on track together’ (Let's stick together, Bryan Ferry, 1976)
 

And now the team mate vow is very sacred
Toto has put us together now
He has said ‘Let’s stay  on track together’
Come on, come on, let’s stay on track together
You know we made a vow not to crash into one another never

No lyrics re-work needed:

"In My Place" by Pastor Maldonado

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Yeah, how long must you wait for it, oh, for it?

The Boys Are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

 

Guess who just got passed today?

Some slow poke car that was in the way

Should have pitted, and called it a day

If the leaders want to get by, you better let 'em!

 

And that time during the last race

He was so far off the pace

His car was spinning all over the place

Man that guy is so slow, forget him!

 

The car has broken down (the car has broken down)

The car has broken down (the car has broken down)

Race Control to Kvyat...
Race Control to Kvyat...
Pull over the car, Give two positions back

This is kvyat to race control,
You've really pissed me off,
While Verstappens winning in the most extraordinary way,
My F1 prospects look very different today

Race Control to Kyvat,
You're looking slow, and at the back

Can you hear us Kvyat? Can you hear us kvyat?

Here I am sitting in my Indycar,
Half-way round the world...
Verstappens beating Lew,
And there's nothing I can do...

Thanks, R Soul. I was referring to Paddy Lowe with "Paddy Cake." And, no, I wasn't thinking of food; but today I was researching lawn grass.

Christine Blachford, 'Felipe Baby'

 

Felipe Baby, we're bringing the white visor to you
It's new
You'll be able to see
Felipe Baby, now hurry up and score us a point

Felipe Baby, don't worry 'bout the rain, you're strapped in
Breathe in
It won't matter if you spin
Felipe Baby, but hurry up and score us a point

Think of all the fans back home
Think of all the trouble you'll be in in Rome
We've worked too hard, so don't give up
We're making sure KERS won't blow you up

Felipe Baby, I understand you're mad at the car
We are
But we need some more wins
Felipe Baby, now hurry up and score us some points
 

Felipe Baby, there’s plenty lining up for your job
Like Bob-bie K
Alonso will show you up
Felipe Baby, now hurry up and score us some points

Felipe Baby, Michael's contract will be renewed

So you'dBetter listen to me

Felipe Baby, now hurry up and score us some points

Don’t forget you’re our only hope
Kimi won’t do anything but mope
There’s not enough ice cream for the both of you
And only one gorilla suit – oo-oo-oooh

Felipe Baby, my song to you is ending real quick
The trick
To winning is to drive fast
Felipe Baby, so hurry up and score us some points
Hurry up, we need those damn points, Hurry, we need those points

Cause you have to

Move to the flow of the vortex blaster

Falsified flagrant overtaking voodoo

Got to pass and everything you quiz

Will point to the fact that this is absymal

Alistair Griffin - Just Crash

 

There are cams that monitor

Will I make it to the end well I am not sure

but for one last time

I'll take this ride

and just crash

 

I wanna be the only one to take the others out

Take it to the edge where I have crashed a thousand times

Maybe I could crash into

To crash into all the safety cars

and just thrive

 

If there is a gap, I go for it

no matter how small the gap can be

for not last time

I'll take this ride

and just crash

 

I wanna be the only one to take the others out

Take it to the edge where I have crashed a thousand times

Maybe I could crash into

To crash into all the safety cars

F. Alonso: "Fast Car" (Song to Mercedes)

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me, myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

So I dreamt I was driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Starting lights lay out before us
And the seat felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
I gotta make a decision
I leave tonight or live and die this way

Black Crowes - Faster

 

You can't stop
Or I might pass ya
If you slow down
I'll out last ya
But when you're down
You won't find me laughing
Just one question I might ask ya
It might sound like a disaster
Can you make this thing go faster?

 

This one isn´t really about racing, but the chorus is quite suitable anyways

Some think you've got the right, but others think you've got it wrong

Show them you still have what it takes! That cool “Iceman Face”,

2007 race pace and less mistakes!

The best bit of the whole song 

[vivafroilan!]

Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen)

 

Blunder Road

 

Ghost-gap slams,

teammate's vision fades,

like an eel he slipped the nose in and through the grass he strayed

team principals screamin in his head

hey that's us and we want you dead,

"Don't turn on me again,

I just can't face Niki again.

I'll run back and hide

'cause I know just what they're waiting for

where's Ron when I need him?

I ain't feelin so young anymore

but they should show some faith, there's sixteen more rounds,

it's clear my talent abounds,

     and it'll be alright, they'll see..."

 

"You can hide 'neath your titles

and narrow the gap,

but if you get close to me

there'll be carbon on the track

we'll waste the summer walkin back

as the others rise up the sheets

Now I've got momentum, that's understood,

your unworldly speed ain't gonna do you no good,

I've got the chance to make it good this year

and I'm not lettin go now."

They rolled down the windows

and let the wind blow their hair around,

"This team's bustin open, you two guys

are gonna run it into the ground."

"Hey, I had one last chance to make that pass,

it was nearly halfway through the first lap!"

"Well you shoulda dropped on back,

'cause Toto's waitin down by the track..."

Oh, oh, Lord give me strength,

we're flyin out tonight with the cars all bent

oh, oh, gonna be a long road, be a long road to Monaco

good thing we've got enough money to buy the sun,

we'll be workin late but of course we'll make them run,

oh, blunder road, sit tight, count our gold,

blunder road...

 

"Well I got these two drivers

and I tried to make em talk,

even took em out back and showed em what for

but here they are, takin that long walk

from the runoff to my hotseat,

for Chrst's sake, these cars ain't free!

and I know they're hungry for records to be broken,

but it'll be their noses next time if they don't hear what I've spoken."

There are ghosts on the track where Max made history

     thanks in part to the other son,

they haunt this dusty test track for a little while

     till once again the engines run,

they scream of the race just passed,

where the first team got a little taste of last,

and now declining with the dawn

the sound of engines roaring on,

but when they look for the points they're gone

on the wind,

they shake their heads, that's the game, climb on in...

     And the rest of us are grinnin,

     there's life in the show again!

The World's Only Gutless Elan   (A Boy Named Sue)   https://www.youtube....h?v=6pex_ASYQPM

 

 

Well, my Daddy left home to enter Formula Three

And he didn't leave much to Ma and me

Just this old helmet and a clapped-out Lotus Elan.

Now I don't blame him cause he made the grid

But the meanest thing that he ever did

Was to swap its engine for a Morris twelve-seventy five.

Some guy'd pass and I'd brake late;

When he thought he had me I'd shut the gate;

Seems I had to draft all season through.

That heap taught me some tricks Vette drivers don't know

But Europe was calling and I wanted to go

To whup that man what gimme that pushrod mill.

 

At the Nurburgring I made my debut

Behind the Grand Prix grid in my Formula Two

Brabham with the four banger Morris that I still ran.

On the pole position I spied the rat -

In a Ferrari, there he sat - 

The sadist who made me drive

The world's only gutless Elan.

I knew that helmet was my old sweet Dad

From a Harewood poster that my Mother had:

There were STP decals stuck all the way around.

 

When I stood beside him he stared ahead

So I hoarked on his visor

And then I said, "Alright, clot, 

Let's see what you got.

I'm gonna shut you down!"

Well, he gave me a holeshot off the line

Cause his weight-to-horse was better than mine

But at the Ring what you do matters more than what you drive.

The only way I could keep him in sight 

Was to slipstream the leaders and do things like

Feedin' her the apex in a classic powerslide.

 

Well, they say the Karussell's one car wide

But me and him were side by side

And all I could hear was that flat twelve's wailin' cry.

Flying out of that turn we were both in the air

My Goodyears bit but his power to spare

Made him sit there spinnin' his rubber while I got by.

On the last lap blockin' for one turn more,

Choppin' left and right, pedal right to the floor,

I jammed that gearbox down from fifth to first.

What did it do? What could it do?

Blew oil and metal all over the track;

I coasted to vict'ry and left the pack

Doin' three-sixties and slidin' off into the trees.

 

I guess that Elan was what put me here,

The driver they call Rookie of the Year,

And if I rebuild that Lotus again

I think I'll use ...

A Novi !  An H-16 !

Anything but a Morris twelve-seventy five !

Elvis Presley "Maldonado" (In The Ghetto)
 

As the debris flies
On a hot and dry F1 weekend
A talentless driver goes off at a bend 
Maldonado

And his mechanics cry
'Cause if there's one thing that they don't need
It's another written off car to retrieve
Maldonado (Maldonado)

Teams, don't you understand
Pastor needs a helping hand
'Cause he's in front of the stewards every day
Take a look at you and him,
His results are grim
Or do you simply turn your heads and cash another cheque?

As the car burns,
And a Venezuelan driver lacking in skill
Has a seat in the Williams if his sponsor pays the bill
Maldonado

But his luck turns
Athough he starts to pick up some penalties as well
And he crashes into cars thinking what the hell

Maldonado

Then one time after Frank's birthday
The pay driver wins a race
He's given the pole
Beats Fred to the flag
But a spark from the KERS
and it all goes bad
And the garage burns

As a crowd gathers 'round to help the team from harm

Pastor comes out with his cousin in his arms
Maldonado

And then his contract dies,
At the start of a season in the Renault this time,
Pastor's soon out of luck and he's lost his drive
Maldonado

And his sponsor cries

While Guiterrez Gently Weeps - By George Harrison

I look at you all see the love Grosjean and Gene
While Gutierrez gently weeps
I look at my floor not enough carbon weaving
Still Gutierrez gently weeps
I don't know how nobody at Haas told you that your'e not loved
I don't know how Ferrari controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the wheel and notice it's turning
While Gutierrez gently weeps
With every crap race we must surely be learning
Still Gutierrez gently weeps

I don't know how your car was diverted
Tires perforated too
I don't know how your car was inverted
Alonso shunted you

I look at the wreckage see the debris that's heaping
While Gutierrez gently weeps
Look at your car
Still Gutierrez gently weeps

Cos Hammy won't judge it right,
There's a bad move on the rise.

I see yellow flags are waving,
I see a safety car as well.
Hammy's emotions overflowing,
Nico's been punted off again.

Don't put up a fight,
Cos Hammy won't judge it right,
There's a bad move on the rise.

I see RedBull and Ferrari laughing,
Toto doesn't know just what to say.
Niki is fuming and ranting,
Hammy can't have it all his way...

My uncle always pronounces that song like 'Bad Moon Racing'.

Another one from Elvis:

 

Suspicious Minds
or
Turbulent Air

I'm losing the front.
I can't turn in,
because I'm in the turbulent air.

Why can't you see,
you pull away from me,
when I lose the grip in my front tyres?

We can't go on together,
with this turbulence.
And we can't get one-two
with my worn out tyres.

So if I get super softs,
and get the undercut,
would my car still have this understeer?

Here we go again,
time to box box box.
You can't see that vortex
from your wings.

We can't go on together,
with this turbulence.
And we can't get one-two
with my worn out tyres.

Oh let our team score points,
or get a podium.
Let's not let another team..

let their star driver
come between our two cars
Mmmmm, yeah, yeah,

I'm losing the front,
I can't turn in....

People Who Died  (Jim Carroll Band)   https://www.youtube....h?v=9bOjc70f4p8

 

 

Monza took Ascari and we don't know why.

Vuky did a somersault in 55.

Wolfgang paid the price that sometimes racing cost 

But what can justify the lives in fires lost?

Look upon Bandini. Does this not appall?

Safety measures? Are you kidding? There were none at all.

He was a friend of mine.

 

 

Refrain:
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

 

 

What a time it was before that April gloom!

Take a look at pictures in the Jim Clark Room

Hockenheim backstretch, at Akron's behest,

Off track, headlong, fence, forest, he's gone. 

And for us it was a harder hit than all the others

And I salute you brother/ this song is for all my brothers

 

 

Repeat refrain

 

Bruce McLaren, Jochen, Jo, 

Piers and Pedro, Elio, 

Roger, Peter, Tom and Mark, 

Patrick, Ronnie: all gone dark. 

Just a few more friends of mine

A few more friends that died / I miss 'em--they died

 

 

Repeat refrain

 

Gilles was being Gilles on his qualifying lap,

Made the wrong assumption about where there was a gap. 

With no restraint of any kind our hero rose and fell. 

Did breakneck speed restore his pride?

His whole career was a beautiful ride.

 

 

Repeat refrain

 

Senna meant to hold a flag for his fallen fellow; 

To win or bust across the bumps of tricky Tamborello.

He said, Syd, I know it's dangerous

But I'm not about tomorrow. 

And pass, he would, from lead to legend 

Our Pietà, pierced, in yellow.

 

Repeat refrain; repeat second verse

An improved version of The Banana Boat Song:

 

MGU! MGU!
You only get 5 and that is too few
Save! Me say save, me say save, me say save,
me say save, me say save it.
You only get 5 and that is too few

On the inside but you are too slow!
Turn in late and you force him wide
Let them race please, it is for the show!
Turn in late and you force him wide

Hey Mr Hamilton, reset your engine
Mode is wrong but I can't advise
Hey Mr Hamilton, reset your engine
Mode is wrong but I can't advise

Start Q1, Q2, Q3 Pole!
Leave the track and you can rejoin
1 stop, 2 stop, 3 stop, stall!
Leave the track and you can rejoin

Hey, me say Nico,
Yellow flag but you still get pole
Wave! I see wave, I see I wave, I see I wave, I see waving
Yellow flag but you still get pole

An Austrian kerb, wrecks your suspension
No gravel now we must be safe
It might restore some missing tension
No gravel now we must be safe

Shift six gear, seven gear, eight gear, box!
Your hydraulics are about to fail
Six gear, seven gear, eight gear, box!
Your hydraulics are about to fail

Weave, me see weaving,
Moving while in the braking zone
Weave, me see weave, me see weave, me see weave,
Moving while in the braking zone

Hey Mr Safety Car, it has stopped raining
Push too hard and your tyres go off
There is no risk of aquaplaning
Push too hard and your tyres go off

Honda! Honda!
Progress come but it takes so long
Wait, me say wait, me say wait, me say wait,
me say wait, me say waiting.
Progress come but it takes so long

[R Soul]

Bump!

 

Vettel finds a more constructive way to express his frustration with Verstappen.

 

The Whole of the Moon

Straight Over the Grass

 

I managed my tyres
You weren't quite as fast
I had a chance
But you saw the plan
I tried to outbrake you at turn one
While you just took a tight line
I saw the lockup
You went straight over the grass
Straight over the grass

You were near to the third step
Despite dirt on your wheels
You tested the stewards
And you know how it feels
To brake too late
too hard
too fast
You went straight over the grass

I was anrgy
While you stayed in third
I swore at Charlie about you
You cut the corner
I had the red mist coming down
You had the third place
I saw the lockup
You went straight over the grass

I said some rude things
About you
I got my third place at last
You got fifth
I tried
You got fourth
I got five seconds
I was demoted to fifth
Demoted to fith

Without rules on track limits
And no harm to your wheels
You tested the stewards
And you know how it feels
To brake too late
too hard
too fast
You went straight over the grass
Straight over the grass

Podiums and penalties
Briefing rooms and jeers
Big runoffs made from tarmac
This will end in tears
White lines, flattened kerbs
Far too many gears
Every country with a race
For at least two years

Yes you took a full mile
You were given an inch
You took a big shortcut
Did not even flinch
Too late
too hard
too fast
You went straight over the grass

Can't catch me (original MC Hammer U can't touch this https://www.youtube....h?v=otCpCn0l4Wo )

 

Can't catch me
Can't catch me
Can't catch me (oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh)
Can't catch me (oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh)

My-my-my-my car makes me so fast makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me with a mind to race and two quick feet
That's good when you know you're in a rage
A super dope homeboy from Stevenage
And I'm known as such
And this is a race uh u can't match

I told you homeboy u can't catch me
Yeah that's how I'm livin' and you know u can't catch me
Look in my glasses man u can't catch me
Yo let me hit the throttle u can't catch me

Fresh new helmet and suit
You got it ready now you know you have a blast
So move into your seat
Get a hotrod and light up this track
While it's rollin' hold on and pump a little bit
Try hard and lets see if you can follow me like that
Hot on the wheels so pull on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a race uh u can't match

Yo I told you u can't catch me
Why you standing there man u can't catch me
Yo sound the bells, race is on,  sucker, u can't catch me

Give me a car and a track
Making 'em sweat that's what I'm giving back
Now they know when I talk about Hammer time
You talk about a race that's hyped and tight
Drivers are sweatin' so pass them a wipe
Or a wheel to learn what it's gonna take
to win a race and be the champ
legit, either work hard
Or you might as well quit

That's word because you know
Can't catch me (oh-oh oh oh-oh-oh)
Can't catch me (oh-oh oh oh-oh-oh)
Break not down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
Race, it's Hammer time

Go with the flow or in a spin if you can't race me
Then you probably are last
So move your hands behind the wheel
Bust through the curves run your fingers through the gears
This is it for a winner
Blast to this and you're gonna get faster
Move, slide the car
Just let's all floor the pedal
brake brake brake  yeah

Can't catch me
Look man u can't catch me
You better get fast boy 'cause you know you can't u can't catch me
Ring the bell, race is on, hammer it down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop Hammer time
(Oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh) u can't catch me
(Oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh) u can't match me
(Oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh) u can't catch me
(Oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh) break not down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop Hammer time

Every time you see the Ham he's just so hype
I race the pack and I'm magic behind the wheel
Now why would I ever stop doing this
With others makin' moves that just don't win
I toured around the world from 'bourne to 'Dhabi
It's Hammer go Hammer
It's a Hammer yo Hammer and the rest go and play

Can't catch me (oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh)
Can't catch me (oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh)
Can't catch me (oh-oh oh-oh-oh)
Yeah u can't catch me
I told you u can't catch me (oh-oh oh-oh-oh)
Too hype can't catch me
Get me outta here u can't catch me
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Bad 'Move' Rising by CCR

I see a bad move arising,
I see trouble on the way.
I see caps thrown and fighting,
I see no more points today.

Don't put up a fight,
Cos Hammy won't judge it right,
There's a bad move on the rise.

I see yellow flags are waving,
I see a safety car as well.
Hammy's emotions overflowing,
Nico's been punted off again.

Don't put up a fight,
Cos Hammy won't judge it right,
There's a bad move on the rise.

I see RedBull and Ferrari laughing,
Toto doesn't know just what to say.
Niki is fuming and ranting,
Hammy can't have it all his way...

 

Apologies for being off-topic here but this has been irritating me for years.

 

am I the only person who instead of singing "There's a bad move on the rise." to this song, instead sing. "There's a bathroom on the right!".

There's a Batman in the night.

Thats's how it really goes.

Still OT, but You have good company

 

Live, John Fogerty occasionally sings ‘there’s a bathroom on the right’ instead of ‘there’s a bad moon on the rise’. “In the wonderful tradition of rock‘n’roll,” he explains, “people misconstrue the lyrics, and that’s what they thought I was singing. And when I hear the song on the radio now, I can see why they thought that – it does sound like it could be what I’m singing. So I do it for fun. I’m not one of these people that walks around going: ‘I’m a serious artist.’ I like to have fun.”
