# "Pedal to the Floor (Main Street Heat)" *(An Upbeat 1950s Rock 'n' Roll/Rockabilly Anthem)* **\[Intro\]** *(A fast, rolling drum fill kicks in, followed by a screaming, twangy electric guitar slide and a pounding, boogie-woogie piano riff!)* **Lead Singer:** *(Shouting)* One, two! One two three, let’s GO! **Backup Singers:** *(Fast and punchy)* Bop-bop, a-bop-bop, a-rock-rock-roll! **Lead Singer:** Rev up the Chevy, plug in the amp! We’re tearing up the town, baby, light the lamp! **Backup Singers:** Go, cat, go! Go, cat, go! **\[Verse 1\]** Well, I walked into the diner 'bout a quarter past eight, Saw you sipping on a malt, man, you’re looking so great! You got the bobby socks rolled and the poodle skirt spun, I slid into the booth and I *knew* you’re the one! We shared a cherry cola and a basket of fries, Got that teenage magic lookin' right in your eyes! **\[Chorus\]** *(The whole band kicks in full force, heavy backbeat!)* Oh, we’re cruisin’! *(Backup: Cruisin’!)* Down Main Street! *(Backup: Main Street!)* Got the pedal to the floor and we’re bringing the heat! From the sock-hop hustle to the drive-in screen, We’re the wildest two kids that this town’s ever seen! Yeah, the engine is rumbling, the radio’s loud, We’re the king and the queen of the teenage crowd! *(Guitar riff: Da-da-da-da-DAAAA!)* **\[Verse 2\]** Friday night gymnasium, the speakers are blown, The DJ’s spinning vinyl and we’re in the zone! You’re doing the Stroll, man, I’m doing the Bop, We’re spinning 'round the floor and we just cannot stop! Then we peel out the lot to the Starlight Drive-In, Got the windows rolled up and the heater cranked in! We missed half the picture 'cause we’re laughing so loud, Just a couple of kids making out in the crowd! **\[Chorus\]** Oh, we’re cruisin’! *(Backup: Cruisin’!)* Down Main Street! *(Backup: Main Street!)* Got the pedal to the floor and we’re bringing the heat! From the sock-hop hustle to the drive-in screen, We’re the wildest two kids that this town’s ever seen! Yeah, the engine is rumbling, the radio’s loud, We’re the king and the queen of the teenage crowd! **\[Bridge\]** *(Music drops down to just a slapping upright bass and a snapping snare drum, building tension)* Well, the school bell rings and we’re stuck in class... *(Backup: Tick-tock, tick-tock, hoping time will pass!)* Passing little folded notes underneath the desk... *(Backup: Put the algebra and the history to the test!)* But when three o'clock hits, hear that engine ROAR! *(Full band crashes back in!)* Drop the clutch, hit the gas, we’re flying out the door! *(Lead Singer yells):* VROOOOOOM! **\[Wild Instrumental Solo\]** *(A frantic, honking tenor saxophone trades fast, screaming licks with a bright, echo-drenched electric guitar. The piano is hammering the keys in the background!)* **\[Verse 3\]** Got my letterman jacket and your hand in mine, Everything is perfect, yeah, the stars align! High school days are flying in a blur of neon light, Cruising past the marquees in the middle of the night! Got a pocket full of dimes and a tank full of gas, As long as I got you, baby, we’re having a blast! **\[Final Chorus\]** *(Maximum energy, everyone singing at the top of their lungs!)* Oh, we’re cruisin’! *(Backup: Cruisin’!)* Down Main Street! *(Backup: Main Street!)* Got the pedal to the floor and we’re bringing the heat! From the sock-hop hustle to the drive-in screen, We’re the wildest two kids that this town’s ever seen! Yeah, the engine is rumbling, the radio’s loud, We’re the king and the queen of the teenage crowd! **\[Outro\]** **Lead Singer:** Keep on cruisin'! **Backup:** *(Bop-bop!)* **Lead Singer:** Keep on rockin'! **Backup:** *(Bop-bop!)* **Lead Singer:** Don't stop lovin'! **Backup:** *(Bop-bop!)* **Lead Singer:** Yeah, you and me, baby! *(Band hits three massive, syncopated chords)* **Band:** BAM! BAM! BAM! **Lead Singer:** *(Breathless and laughing)* Whew! Goodnight, everybody! *(Final cymbal crash and a lingering, fading guitar echo)* --- .
