Lyrics
ROAD RUNNER
Listen everybody ? cause I´m gonna tell you a story
just about how I met my baby one bright summerday
when I came home from school ? here I go
I met my baby after school
when I went down to the swimming pool
there she was jsut in her bikini
oh what a lovely sight to see
She was looking sweet there it had to start
yea right away she got a hold of my heart
I went to her and said can I see you tonight
she smiled at me and said ?that´s allright?
But I´m a road runner babe
I´m a road runner babe
but if you´ve got what it takes
you can have me tonight
Oh I got her ? yes I did
and she wispered ?baby this is it?
she told me I was out of sight
so ? I´m staying with her another night
One more night ? one more night
we´re havin´a one more night
But she´s a road runner babe
she´s a road runner babe
but if you´ve got what it takes
you can have her tonight
night after night
