Maybelline

(album: Sings America's Rockin' Hits - 1961)

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started doing the things you used to do

As I was motorvaton over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coup de Ville
A Cadillac arolling on the open road
Nothing will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doing about ninetyfive
She's bumper to bumper, rolling side to side

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back doing the things you used to do

The Cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passing lane
The rainwater blowing all under my hood

I know that I was doing my motor good

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back doing the things you used to do

Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back doing the things you used to do

The motor cooled down the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac sitting like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac looking like it's sitting still
And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back doing the things you used to do
