I had it painted on my jacket, had it on my guitar, 

If I could on1y drive l'd get it painted on my car, 

Had it painted on my scooter but it just wouldn't do, 

l've got to get myself a funky hot-rod tattoo. 


Wo-oh oh-oh-oh Wo-oh oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hot-rod tattoo. 


Get it done on on my arms , startin'up from my wrists, 

Swirlin'round my other tat's with its fiery mists, 

I'll get flame-job arms if it's the last thing I do, 

I got to get myself that flammin' hot-rod tattoo. 


Wo-oh oh-o h-oh Wo-oh oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hot-rod tattoo. 


I'll get it painted on my coffin, get those flames up the side, 

So I can look good when they're buryin' my hide, 

When they dig up my bones (that's if they ever do), 

Those cats are gonna dig my funky hot-rod tattoo. 


Wo-oh oh-oh-oh Wo-oh oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hot-rod tattoo.
