Verse 1:
Eb
Well, she got her daddy's car
Ab
And she cruised through the hamburger stand, now
Eb
Seems she forgot all about the library
Bb [2, 3: harmonies imply Bb7]
Like she told her old man, now
Eb
And with the radio blastin' goes
Ab
Cruisin' just as fast as she can, now
Chorus 1:
Eb Gm
And she'll have fun, fun, fun
Ab Bb
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
Eb Ab Gm [1, 3: Bb 2, 4: F]
(Fun, fun, fun, 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Verse 2:
Well, the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks, looks, and drives like an ace, now
(You walk like an ace, now, you walk like an ace)
She makes the Indy 500 look like
The Roman chariot race, now
(You look like an ace, now, you look like an ace)
A lot of guys try to catch her
But she leads 'em on a wild goose chase, now
(You drive like an ace, now, you drive like an ace)
[repeat chorus]
Instrumental break (organ/guitar solo):

Verse 3:
Well, you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you, now
(You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You been thinkin' that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we got a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)
Chorus 2 [2X]:
And we'll have fun, fun, fun
Now that Daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun, fun, fun, now that Daddy took the T-bird away)
Coda [repeat to fade]:
Bb Eb
Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away
Ab [harmonies imply Ab9]
Fun, fun, now that Daddy took the T-bird away
