Lyrics for Song: Repo Man
Lyrics for Album: I'll Paint You a Song [1975]
(Mac Davis)
(From the movie 'Norwood')
Well, he's the sleekest Mr. Clean
That you've even seen
And you can bet he's a smooth operator
He has a black on black
And black naugahyde front and back
Cadillac Eldorado.
He'll flash a gold-toothed grin
At the new drop-in
As he tosses his tin to the waiter
But when we next see our hero
He's sneaking off the dance floor
Slipping out the back door, whispering
Gotta go, I'll see ya later.
Well, then he races to his Eldorado
Stomps the accelerator
Shoves his alligator in the carberator
Waving bye-bye y'all, I gotta go.
Here come the repo man
Here come the repo man
Ah, the repossession man
You better run, better run, better run
'Cause here come the repo man
And he's looking straight at you
And you know he's gonna catch you
If he can, if he can, ow.
Well, you can see him every night
Under neon lights
Dressed up right to fit the situation
You'd never know he's from the farm
With chick on his arm
Nothing but a shopping combination.
Wearing skintight suits
And outasite boots
Lawd, he blows a lotta loot for decoration
But when the Man tugs his sleeve
He says y'all, I gotta leave
It seems I got a previous obligation.
Well, then he races to his Eldorado
Stomps the accelerator
Shoves his aligator in the carberator
Waving Bye bye y'all I gotta go.
You better run, better run, better run
'Cause here come the repo man
And he's looking straight at you
And you know he's gonna catch you
If he can, if he can.
Here come the repo man
Here come the repo man
Ah, the repossession man
You better run, better run, better run
'Cause here come the repo man...
