I had it painted on my jacket, had it on my guitar,
If I could on1y drive l'd get it painted on my car,
Had it painted on my scooter but it just wouldn't do,
l've got to get myself a funky hot-rod tattoo.

Wo-oh oh-oh-oh Wo-oh oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hot-rod tattoo.

Get it done on on my arms , startin'up from my wrists,
Swirlin'round my other tat's with its fiery mists,
I’ll get flame-job arms if it's the last thing I do,
I got to get myself that flammin' hot-rod tattoo.

Wo-oh oh-o h-oh Wo-oh oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hot-rod tattoo.

I’ll get it painted on my coffin, get those flames up the side,
So I can look good when they're buryin' my hide,
When they dig up my bones (that's if they ever do),
Those cats are gonna dig my funky hot-rod tattoo.

Wo-oh oh-oh-oh Wo-oh oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hot-rod tattoo.
