Why this car is automatic
Systematic, hydromatic?
Why? It's a grease lightning 
(Grease, grease, grease lightning...)

I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying (electrifying...)

You better shape up 'cause I need a man 
And my heart is set on you 
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true

Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

You're the one that I want 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want 
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one that I need (the one that I need)
Oh yes, indeed

Why? It's a grease lightning 
Grease lightning

We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barreled quads, oh yeah 
(Keep talking, whoa, keep talking)
A fuel injection cutoffs and crome plated rods, oh yeah 
(I'll get the money I'll kill to get the money)
With a four speed on the floor, they'll be waiting at the door
You know that I ain't bragging, she's a real pushing wagon
Grease lightning
(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)

Go, grease lightning, you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning, go grease lightning)
Go grease lightning, you're coasting through the hit lap trial
(Grease lightning, go grease lightning)
You are supreme (huh huh) the chicks will cream (huh huh) 
For grease lightning
(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)

We'll get some purple French tail lights, some 30 inch fins, oh yeah (ooh...)
A palomino dashboard, some duel muffler twins, oh yeah (ooh...)
With new pistons, plugs and shocks I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't bragging, she's a real pushing wagon
Grease lightning
(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)

Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl, crazy for me
Met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days drifting a way to, oh oh, the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more 
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
A-huh, a-huh, a-huh...

She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drown
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun but, oh oh, the summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a, huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up the fight?

It turned colder, that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but, oh oh, those summer nights

(Tell me more, tell me more)
