Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started doin'
The things you used to do
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin'
The things you used to do
A Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got clody and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passin' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin'
The things you used to do
---- Instrumental Interlude -----
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin'
The things you used to do
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin'
The things you used to do

Well, buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweele, deedle, dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice, darling
Is the sweetest sound I've ever heard
I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the sky is blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you
Sweet as the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
But there's nothing as sweet as you, darling
And I hope someday you'll be mine
