Maybelline

(album: Rock'n Roll'n Robbins - 1956)

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

Well as I was motivating over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville
A Cadillac a-rolling on the open road
Nothing will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doing 'bout ninety-five
Bumper to bumber rolling side by side

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

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

The Cadillac moved to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passing lead
The rain water blowing all under my hood
I knew that was doing my motor good

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

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

The motor cooled down, the speed went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-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've done started back doing the things you used to do
