[Verse 1] Parked under the diner sign Cherry red and a little too wide Chrome smile, bubble eyes Like it wandered out of a kid's sketchpad Fins up, sneakers on the floor Whitewalls, wrapped in candy trim Hood up high like a fighter’s hair And it winks when the afternoon hits it right [Pre-Chorus] It goes Boop-boop, vroom Under that garage-sale moon And every time you open the door It starts acting like it wants more [Chorus] Hey, Coronet, go! Little TV cartoon Coronet, go! Skipping down the road It laughs, it wobbles It spins those wheels 1959 With a comic strip feel [Verse 2] Dashboard lights like a grin Bench seat big enough for three Rearview mirror got a plastic charm Swinging there like it’s got a joke to keep You turn the key and it coughs Then settles into a purr Tailpipes bark, then it poses Like it knows the whole block is watching it [Pre-Chorus] It goes Boop-boop, vroom Under that garage-sale moon And every time you open the door It starts acting like it wants more [Chorus] Hey, Coronet, go! Little TV cartoon Coronet, go! Skipping down the road It laughs, it wobbles It spins those wheels 1959 With a comic strip feel [Verse 3] Headlights throw a yellow stare Cutting through the heavy air Radio murmurs some old first-rate tune Drifting out under a summer moon We roll by the bowling alley Past the courthouse on Main People on the porch lean out and grin This car makes strangers wave again [Pre-Chorus] It goes Boop-boop, vroom Under that garage-sale moon And every time you open the door It starts acting like it wants more [Chorus] Hey, Coronet, go! Little TV cartoon Coronet, go! Skipping down the road It laughs, it wobbles It spins those wheels 1959 With a comic strip feel [Bridge] Around the bend, it leans too far Like some wisecrack superstar Chrome cheeks shining, wearing a streak of rain Rolling through the lane, rolling through the lane [Guitar Solo] (Instrumental break, a wild and playful surf-rock vibe) [Break] Skid-skid, zip-zap Watch it snap back Skid-skid, zip-zap Now it’s on track [Chorus] Hey, Coronet, go! Little TV cartoon Coronet, go! Skipping down the road It laughs, it wobbles It spins those wheels 1959 With a comic strip feel [Outro] Yeah, 1959 With a comic strip feel Every night, it comes back new Still won’t sit still Coronet, go! Go, go, go! Under the diner sign, you know Coronet, go! Yeah! (Fades out with engine sounds and a final "boop-boop, vroom")
