Lyrics
- Billy Dean took Mabel in his machine
Down a quiet road where they’d not be seen
Then he’d stop and try to cuddle his queen
Then their troubles would begin
She wanted to spin, but he wanted to spoon
And each one was bound to have their way
But at last they found a very good plan
And it worked out just this way
Chorus
First they’d hug and kiss, and then go
A little farther, a little farther
He would let her steer the machine
So he could cuddle right up close to his little queen
Then his arms would steal around her
A little farther, a little farther
They would spoon a minute or so
And then a little bit farther they’d go
- Billy Dean took Mabel in his machine
To the home of Rev’rend mister Green
Then he bought a lot of gasoline
To see how far he could go
At a fifty mile clip, Mabel said, “Oh, let her rip”
And while Billy was making up time
He was also making up to his queen
She thought it was just divine
