[verse 1]
Come the hour is near;
Hasten, hasten, dear:
Now the coast is clear.
All is ready, Kate,
Car is at the gate
Dearest don't be late
Ah, at last you're here!
Sit beside me, dear.
Hug me while I steer!
With my Mercer car
that gink Lockinvar
has got not a thing on me!

[chorus]
In my racing car
Like a shooting star,
thru the silent night we'll fly
With the throttle wide
Like the wind we'll ride
And watch the country flashing by!
Courage! Lady Fair!
We will soon be there,
for it matters not how far
Ere the rising sun
You and I'll be one,
Thanks to my Mercer racing car
(Honk, honk)

[verse 2]
What, you didn't pack?
Well, we can't go back
Papa's on the track.
Hear the "Old man" shout.
He's a game old scout
But he's losing out.
Though its awful bad,
We will beat your dad.
Gee, I'll bet he's mad.
Here we are, Hoo-raw
and your foxy old paw
will soon be my father-in-law.

[repeat chorus]
