A                              D 
One Sunday afternoon as I was ridin' down the street 
   A                           B            E 
I met a cute little girl all dressed up so neat 
         A                                      D          
And the way that she was stacked I wish I'd've had a Cadillac 
     A                         E                A 
For who would notice me just drivin' this model T

And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company

Even in your model T you're as cute as you can be 
           A                         D  
If you'll take me for a ride I will set close by your side 
    A                                 E           A 
And I will guarantee that we'll have fun on man alive
