I Should'A Had A V-8

Well, I said pretty honey
Hey, we got a little money
So let's go gamble in the morning
Let's do it up right
We'll rock the night away

So I started up the car
But we didn't get far
We stalled right in the intersection
I knew it there and then
When I heard the motor whine
It was way past tradin' time

I gotta get a V8
I gotta get a V8
It's the only motor ever made
That never gets there late

You can get a little car
If you wanna save gas
But I'm the kind of guy
That likes to get there fast
I can't wait!

I gotta get a V8
I gotta get a V8

So I put out a feeler
For a used car dealer
And I walked right into that showroom
He started out a-talkin'
Even 'fore I got a-walkin' through the door

He made a direction
For the latest selection
Of the greatest cars ever on offer
I really shouldn't do it
'Cause I'm givin' it away
There it is on the showroom floor

Well, it's got a V6
Yeah, it's got a V6

It'll save you on gas
But it's fast enough to get your kicks
It's got plenty of power
Just look at her shine
Put ten percent down
Pay the rest on time
How's chicks?
You gotta get a V6
You gotta get a V6

Well, he talked so fast
And the deal sounded good
He hustled me right out of the showroom
He handed me a paper
Just sign it on the dotted line

He dangled the keys
Right in front of my nose
For fifteen hundred you can take it
Any color that you want
You can drive it home today
The car is now all mine

You know what?

I shoulda had a V8
I shoulda had a V8
It's the only motor ever made
That never gets there late
You can get a V6
If you wanna save gas
But I'm the kind of guy
That likes to get there fast
I'm late!

I shoulda had a V8
I shoulda had a V8
I shoulda had a V8
It's the only motor ever made
That never gets there late

You can get a V6
If you wanna save gas
But I'm the kind of guy
That likes to get there fast

I'm late!
I shoulda had a V8
I shoulda had a V8
