We got a new swimming pool
We got a new town hall
A new old folks' home and bowling alley
you didn't see none of that at all
You were speeding
Speeding
Pull it over, roll down the window
And lay your money down

I know it's 3 o'clock in the morn
I know that you been driving through corn corn, corn, corn
Your eyes are red, you look unhappy
Here is my advice
Check into our motel
Get up and have some breakfast
Folks here are real nice

Your left tail-light's out
But I'll let that pass
I see your license expired yesterday
And by the way you're nearly out of gas
And you're speeding
Speeding
When you're done dancing this
Speed trap boogie
Lay your money down
Just lay it down

Unit One to Unit Two
Earl? Yeah, this is Dale
How many'd you get tonight, buddy?
Six? I got 13, man
Yeah, we'll settle up later
Over and out

This is a nice little town
Such a clean little town
Such a nice little clean little happy little
Friendly Biggest-hearted little town
For miles around
But you're speeding
Speeding
28 in a 25 zone
Lay your money down
16 in a 15 zone
Lay your money down
6 in a 5 zone
lay...

You're moving
That's a stop sign, buddy
You're speeding
