(sangat lambat)
Beep beep beep beep
Bunyi bip beep bip
His horn went beep beep beep
Tawonnya berbunyi bip bip
While riding in my Cadillac
Saat mengendarai Cadillac saya
What to my surprise
Apa yang mengejutkan saya
A little Nash Rambler was following me
Nash Rambler sedikit mengikutiku
About one third my size
Sekitar sepertiga ukuran saya
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
Pria itu pasti ingin melewatkanku
As he kept on tooting his horn
Saat dia terus mengeluarkan tanduknya
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Saya akan menunjukkan kepadanya bahwa Cadillac bukanlah mobil yang dicemooh
Beep beep beep beep
Bunyi bip beep bip
His horn went beep beep beep
Tawonnya berbunyi bip bip
(slowly)
(perlahan)
I pushed my foot down to the floor
Aku mendorong kakiku ke lantai
To give the guy the shake
Untuk memberi orang itu goyang
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
Tapi si kecil Nash Rambler tetap berada di belakang
He still had on his brake
Dia masih di rem nya
He musta thought his car had more guts
Dia pasti mengira mobilnya punya nyali
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)

I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn

Beep beep beep beep
Bunyi bip beep bip
His horn went beep beep beep
Tawonnya berbunyi bip bip
(normal speed)
(kecepatan normal)
My car went into passing gear
Mobil saya masuk ke gigi yang lewat
And we took off with gust (whoosh)
Dan kami lepas landas dengan hembusan nafas
Soon we were going ninety
Tidak lama lagi, kami baru berusia sembilan puluh tahun
Musta left him in the dust
Musta meninggalkannya di debu
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
Saat aku mengintip di cermin mobilku
I couldn't believe my eyes
Aku tidak percaya mataku
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
Nash Rambler kecil berada tepat di belakang
You'd think that guy could fly

Beep beep beep beep
Bunyi bip beep bip
His horn went beep beep beep
Tawonnya berbunyi bip bip
(quickly)
(segera)
Now we were doing a hundred and ten
Sekarang kami melakukan seratus sepuluh
This certainly was a race
Ini tentu saja merupakan sebuah perlombaan
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Untuk Rambler untuk lulus Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
Akan menjadi aib besar
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
Pria itu pasti ingin melewatkanku
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
Saat dia terus mengeluarkan tanduknya (bip beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn

Beep beep beep beep
Bunyi bip beep bip
His horn went beep beep beep
Tawonnya berbunyi bip bip
(very quickly)
(sangat cepat)
Now we're going a hundred twenty
Sekarang kita akan berumur seratus dua puluh
As fast as I can go
Secepat aku bisa pergi
The Rambler pulled along side of me
Rambler menarik sisi saya
As if we were going slow
Seolah kita akan lambat
The fella rolled down his window
Orang itu menurunkan jendelanya
And yelled for me to hear
Dan berteriak agar aku dengar
“Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?”
“Hei sobat, bagaimana cara mengeluarkan mobil ini dari gigi kedua?”
