[D]
If I was a staggering plane, a staggering painted ray,
I'd fly over to your house, baby, bus you in your bed.
[G] If I was a tape-a-wing, a tape-a-wing painted blue,
I'd be barrel-rolling [D] over in you.
[A] Run me right around, [G] baby, run me right [D] around.
If I was Maserati, a red 300L,
I'd ride around your house, baby, give you driving pleasure.
[G] If I was a Mustang racer, I'd put the stride with blue,
you'd ride me, baby, whenever you [D] wanted to.
[A] You're gonna be a rider in your [G] house, baby, you're [D] riding with me.
[A] [G] If
[D]
I was Fender guitar, a Fender painted red,
you could play me, darling, until your fingers bled.
[G] If I was one of them Gibsons, like a 58 or a 9,
you could plug me in, play me [D] any time.
[A] Run me right around, baby, [G] run me [D] right around.
[A]
[G] [D]
If I was a motorcycle, a Vincent red repeat,
I'd ride around your house, baby, get you up to speed.
[G] If I was a short track racer, I'd be an Indian,
you'd ride me around, ride me [D] around again.
[A] You're gonna be a rider in your [G] house, baby, you're [D] riding with me.
[A] You're gonna be a rider in your [G] house, baby, you're riding [D] with me.
