Shirley Lyrics

[welcome the first lady to try and qualify in an NHRA-dragster competition -- Shirley Muldowney!]

feels so real
crushing the steering wheel
how many times
must we toe this line
halting me
is a fantasy

[cha-cha! call her cha-cha!]
[what's drag racing coming to?]

how many times must you be told
there's nowhere that we don't go

[she's got good traction!]

[i suggest you find a seat in the grandstands, because you don't want to miss this!]

she's just here wants
what she wants to do

[i wonder if Shirley's got in her to hold that throttle down]

kills your joke
as she's burning smoke

[Shirley Muldowney is pulling ahead... and she takes the red light]

and you will find
crossing the finish line

[Shirley Muldowney has just set a new track record!]

satisfaction!

how much times must you be told
there's nowhere that we don't go

[she's got good traction!]

[Q: what's a beautiful girl like you doing racing in a place like this?]
[A: winning.]

[winning. winning. winning. winning.]

[the lady got through it.]
[winning.]

[what's drag racing coming to?]

how many times must you be told
there's nowhere that we don't go

[Q: what's a beautiful girl like you doing racing in a place like this?]
[A: winning.]

[winning. winning. winning. winning.]
