A happy fun upbeat jazzy tune with a great horn section. reminiscent of American songbook and Sgt. Peppers.
lyrics
Cruise
You ask me silly questions, still I don’t know why
I guess I’ll try, I guess I’ll try!
I’m cruisin down the avenue of bliss
Do you want to hear more from me on this
I wave to my friends they think I’m over the edge
between us I’ve long since, left the ledge
Chorus:
So cruise, baby cruise,
We’ve got nothing to lose
You say I’m crazy, you know that it’s true
So cruise, baby cruise
our shiny four doors of happiness
Turn down the radio, if you want the list
Smart dear and beautiful, they cross my mind
in your heart these pale words are left behind
Chorus
Our little red roadster of youthful desire
won't you listen to those squeelin tires
Hatchback, Pontiac, Cadillac, Paddywack, give the dog a bone
turn back on mister, or we’ll not make it home, make it home so.
Chorus
