Rhymin'

BACK FROM VEGAS WHAT A RACE
NUMBERS FLYIN' ALL OVER THE PLACE

LIKE SCOTT'S .47 333
TO TRACK BABES WALKIN 'ROUND WITH 38 DOUBLE D'S

IT'S GREAT TO SEE TRACT'S THAT ARE MATCHIN'
THE SPIRIT AND COLOR OF THE LOCAL ACTION

BUT IT ONLY GETS BETTER AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
IT'S THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN LAY MONEY ON YOUR FAVORITE TEAM

AND IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH THAT YOU SHOULD WIN
IT MIGHT PAY FOR THAT RESERVED SEAT THAT YOU'RE SITTIN' IN

AND RACES LIKE THIS ALWAYS BRING OUT SOME FAMOUS SPECTATOR
AND THIS ONE'S NO DIFFERENT, PRESIDENT OF I.H.R.A, YEP BILL BADER

NOW THERE'S A DUDE IN MY BOOK'S NUMBER ONE
AND FOR THINGS FOR DRAG RACING THAT HE'S DONE

LIKE NORWALK RACEWAY AND "THE NIGHT OF FIRE" WE ALL CHEER
WHERE YOU CAN STAND ON YOUR OWN COOLER AND DRINK YOUR OWN BEER

HEY BILL, GLAD THAT YOU SHOWED UP HERE
AND FOR SURE WE'LL SEE YA AT NORWALK LATER THIS YEAR

SO AS THE SUNLIGHT STARTS TO SET AND THE NEON STARTS A SHININ'
WE LOOK AT THE STAGE AND THE PROFESSIONAL YOUNG LIONS

SO AS THE OLD GUARD PASSES THE TORCH TO YOU
WE SALUTE THE THINGS IN TIME THAT YOU'LL DO
