Look at that, here she comes
Here comes that girl again
One of the cutest, since I don’t know when
But she don’t notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outta my class
But that can’t stop me from thinkin' to myself
«She's sure fine lookin', man, she’s something else»
Look at that 'cross the street
There’s a car built just for me
To own a car would be a luxury
But right now, I can’t afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that can’t stop me from thinkin' to myself
«That car’s fine lookin', man, it’s something else»
Hey, look at that, just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I buy that car and then I roll up with Joe
Get me that girl and we go ridin' around
We look real sharp with the wide top down
I keep on dreamin' and thinkin' to myself
«When it all comes true, man, well, that’s something else»
Hey, look at that, watch out this
Never thought I’d do this before
But here I am a-knockin' on her door
My car’s out front and it’s all mine
It’s a '41 job not a '59
I got that girl and I’m thinkin' to myself
«She's sure fine lookin', man, well, she’s something else»
This song is sooo ahead of its time its insane! With this song you can hear and sense a changing of the guard musically and historically. Change happens gradually and usually not overnight, but this song represents that change.
Great song, great artist! I purchased this as a single 45 rpm from a pre played juke box sale (from a milk bar in Burwood, NSW) Still as big today as it was then! I think we would all agree that Eddie had it in spades!
Eddie is my favorite rocker of all time. I saw him live in 1958. I still have all his records. His music relates to my teenage years, which was blast with my friends. I still have my friends from teenage years.
