Little Deuce Coupe Lyrics

 

 1932 Ford 

Affectionately known as the "Deuce Coup," in 2007 the 1932 Ford celebrated 50 years of unwaning popularity. Many venues honored the half century mark of this quintessential hot rod with featured articles and a variety of celebrations. And rightly so. The deuce coup is in more demand today than ever!

The Beach Boys 1960s Car Songs

For nearly a decade through the 1960s, The Beach Boys filled the charts with surfing songs about sand, sun, waves and California-style fun. 

Hot rodding and cruising was also a common theme in the Beach Boys' "car songs."  Who can get “and she’ll have fun, fun, fun til Daddy takes the T-Bird away” out of their head after hearing the chorus? 

Brian Wilson wrote the music for "Little Deuce Coupe." Lyrics were penned by local radio station DJ, Roger Christian, with lead vocals performed by Mike Love. First recorded on June 13, 1962 for the Surfer Girl album, the following year this hot rod car song was featured as the title track of The Beach Boys album "Little Deuce Coupe."

Here we present the lyrics to the #1 classic, "Little Deuce Coupe." Now you can sing along the next time the Beach Boys start crooning on your favorite Oldies But Goodies station:


Little Deuce Coupe Lyrics


Little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
Little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got

Well Im not braggin babe so don't put me down
But Ive got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don't even try
Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
Shes my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But shell walk a thunderbird like (shes) its standin still
Shes ported and relieved and shes stroked and bored
Shell do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
Shes my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)

Shes got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
Theres one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy

And comin off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and its hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears

Shes my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)
Shes my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)
Shes my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got

 

(And we'll have FUN FUN FUN til Daddy takes the T-Bird awa-a-ay...!)
