Won’t you be my chauffeur?
Won’t you be my chauffeur?
I want you to ride me
I want you to ride me
Ride me downtown
You can run so easy
Ah… that I can’t turn you down

Well, I don’t want you
And I don’t want you
To be ridin’ these other girls
To be ridin’ these other girls around
‘Cause I’ll grab me a pistol, ah…
And I’ll shoot my chauffeur down

And I’m gonna buy you
I’m gonna buy you
A brand new V8
A brand new V8
Shiny brand new Ford
You won’t need no passengers
‘Cause I’m gonna be your very own

I want you to be my chauffeur
I want you to be my chauffeur
I want you to ride me
I want you to ride me
All over the world
‘Cause you can be my little boy
‘Cause I’ma be your girl

I want you to be my chauffeur
Won’t you be my chauffeur?
I want you to ride me
I want you to ride me
Ride me downtown
‘Cause you can run so easy
Aha, that I can’t turn you down
