Freddy And His Go-cart

John D. Loudermilk


Betty used to be my sweetie baby 
She used to be my sweetheart 
Until here lately she's gone plumb crazy 
Over Freddy and new his go-cart 
I called Betty on the telephone 
But Betty's never, ever, ever, ever at home 
She's out with Freddy at a go-cart race 
Lord-a, mercy, seems I've been replaced, by...

In my convertible and win her heart 
But now I feel like going into hiding 
Cause Freddy's doing it with his go-cart 
My motor turns three hundred horse pow'r 
Freddy's top speed's twenty miles an hour 
But out on the shopping center parking lot 
Freddy is winning my Betty's heart, with his... 

Do do do doot-n, do do doot-n, do do doot-n 
do do doot-n, do do doot-n, ... 

Now Betty used to tell me that I was her hero 
And nothing ever could keep us apart 
But here lately I've been batting zero 
I'm running competition with a go-cart 
I gotta do something 'bout my baby 
She's falling fast in love with Freddy 
People laugh at me and say it's over 
Betty's digging that Briggs & Stratton motor, with it's... 

Do do do doot-n, do do doot-n, do do doot-n 
do do doot-n, do do doot-n, ...
