Big Green Car - Jimmy Carroll

Big Green Car

Jimmy Carroll

(Allen - Howard - Boladian, Fascination 2000, 1958)

Hey man, did you see that doll in that big green car?
Well I saw my baby just the other day
In a big green car on the wide highway
I saw my baby with another man
A great big guy with quite a tan
I saw my baby but what did I do
Just a-walkin' around and singin' the blues
I saw my baby, yeah, my good baby
I saw my baby, in a big green car on the wide highway

Well my dad got home from the office at eight
He looked at me and said what do you say
You look kinda pale and you look kinda blue
What in the world is a-wrong with you
I said now dad, I think it's time
That I told someone what's on my mind
I saw my baby, yeah, my good baby
I saw my baby, in a big green car on the wide highway

Well my dad was laughin' when he looked my way
He said, in case you've forgotten, it's your birthday
I bought you a car and it's big and green
It's the prettiest thing that you ever did see
I took it to your baby's and I put it away
The guy that was drivin' was your uncle Jay
That was your baby, yeah, your good baby
That was your baby, in a big green car on the wide highway
