If I had my money
I tell you what I'd do
I would go downtown
Buy a Mercury or two
Cause I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Cruise up and down the bay
Up and down the bay
I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury
And I'll cruise up and down the bay
Up and down the bay
You know that gal I love
I stole her from a friend
Fool got lucky stole her back again
Because she knowed he had a Mercury
Cruise up and down the bay
Up and down the bay
Well, she knowed he had a Mercury
And she cruise up and down the bay
Hey now mama
Where'd you stay last night
Your hair's all down
Your clothes don't fit you right
Had my money
I tell you what I'd do
Go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
Cause I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
And I'll cruise up and down the bay
Up and down the bay
I'm going to buy me a Mercury
And I'll cruise up and down the bay
Up and down the bay
