(original Woody Guthrie version)

Words & Music:

Woody Guthrie

 

A                         E7

Take me for a ride in the car, car.

E7                        A

Take me for a ride in the car, car.

A                   D

Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,

A             E7          A

Take me for a ride in the car, car.

 

Click, clack open up the front door.

Click, clack open up the back door.

Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,

Take me for a ride in the car, car.

 

Climb, climb, rattle in the front seat.

Spree I spraddle on the back seat.

Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,

Take me for a ride in the car, car.

 

Engine, it goes "Brrrm!  Brrrm!"

Engine, it goes "Brrrm!  Brrrm!"

Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,

Take me for a ride in the car, car.

 

I'm a-gonna let you blow the horn.

I'm a-gonna let you blow the horn.

Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,

Take me for a ride in the car, car.

 

TRY MAKING UP YOUR OWN VERSES!  FOR EXAMPLE, PETER, PAUL & MARY CAME UP WITH:

Take me for a ride in your Mack truck.

Take me for a ride in your truck, mack.

Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,

Take me for a ride in your Mack truck...mac!
