Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Name that song, please.

Way back in the day, I had a LP of Hot Rod Songs. Little Duce Coupe, 409, Hot Rod Lincoln, Hot Rod Race....etc. The song that I want, went something like this:

He wore black denim trouser, with motorcycle boots
and a black leather jacket with a eagle on the back
he had a hopped up cycle that took off like a gun
that fool was the terror of highway 101.

I have tried iTunes, eBay, and Amazon without any luck. So now I asking if anyone rembers it. And if so, where can I get the song or the album ?

It may be the case that they both have bad backs -
from carrying all those royalty checks to the bank.

Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots

The Cheers

Words and Music by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller





He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots

And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back

He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun

That fool was the terror of Highway 101



Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair

He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails

On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo

A picture of a heart saying, "Mother, I love you"



He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou

But he treated her just like he treated all the rest

And everybody pitied her and everybody knew

He loved that doggone motorcycle best



He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots

And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back

He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun

That fool was the terror of Highway 101



Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave

She said, "I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve"

But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost

In the rumble of an engine and the smoke from his exhaust



He took off like the Devil; there was fire in his eyes

He said "I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise."

But he hit a screamin' diesel that was California-bound

And when they cleared the wreckage, all they found



Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots

And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back

But they couldn't find the 'cicle that took off like a gun

And they never found the terror of Highway 101

Powerband probably shouldn't show this to his wife.

Don't forget "Little Honda" by the Beach Boys.

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm Gonna Wake You Up Early, Cause I'm Gonna Take a Ride with You.
We're Goin' Down to the Honda Shop, I'll Tell You What We're Gonna Do..
Put on a Ragged Sweatshirt, I'll Take You Anywhere You Want Me To

First gear (honda honda) its alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little honda honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (honda honda) hang on tight (faster faster)
Faster its alright

Its not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
Its more fun that a barrel of monkeys
That two wheel bike
Well ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like

Chorus (Repeat)

It climbs the hills like a matchless
Cause my hondas built really light
When I go into the turns
Lean [tilt] with me and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights
So we can ride my honda tonight

Chorus (Repeat)

Reminds me of "Bubba Hyde" by Diamond Rio.
But that was around 1995.
