Maybelline

(album: The Return Of Rock - 1965)

Maybelline why can't you be true oh Maybelline why can't you be true
You've started back doing the things you used to do

As I was motivating over the hill I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rolling on an open road but nothing outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doing about ninety-five bumper to bumper rolling side to side
Maybelline why can't you be true...

Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
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 rain water poured up under my motor hood
I knew that were doing my motor good
Maybelline why can't you be true...

Well the motor cooled down the heat went down and
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac looking like a ton of lead a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac looking like it's sitting still I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
Maybelline why can't you be true...
Oh Maybelline Maybelline Maybelline Maybelline...
