Well, if [D]I had money, I tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown, buy a Mercury or two
[G]I'm crazy about a Mercury, Lord [D]I'm crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna [Bm]buy me a Mercury and [A]cruise it up and down the [D]road
Well, the [D]girl I love, I stole her from a friend
He got lucky stole her back again
She [G]heard he had a Mercury, Lord she's [D]crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna [Bm]buy me a Mercury and [A]cruise it up and down the [D]road
Well, [D]hey now woman you look so fine
Riding 'round in your Mercury 49
[G]Crazy about a Mercury, Lord I'm [D]crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna [Bm]buy me a Mercury and [A]cruise it up and down the [D]road
Well, my [D]baby went out, she didn't stay long
Bought herself a Mercury come a cruisin' home
[G]She's crazy about a Mercury, yeah she's [D]crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna [Bm]buy me a Mercury and [A]cruise it up and down the [D]road
Well, if [D]I had money, I tell you what I'd do
I'd [D]go downtown buy a Mercury or two
[G]Crazy about a Mercury, Lord I'm [D]crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna [Bm]buy me a Mercury and [A]cruise it up and down the [G]road
