What’ll we get for one thousand dollars?
Every’ting you want
Everything?
Every’ting
Ooh! Don’t buy that, baby! Ahh!
Hold off on this! Oh, they’re gonna sock it to you!
Aaahh! Ooohh!

I bought a Hornet
It’s been broke a long time

Sittin’ at home with my broke down car
So I got the phone book for a tow truck to call
Picked up the telephone, then dialed the 7 digits
Said, “My car is broke! Can you come fix it?
He arrived at my house, knocked on the door
Not having no idea that I had walked to the store
It always overheats, it stalls without warning
My car’s a piece of crap, cause I bought a Hornet

I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
It’s been broke a long time

Girls always ask me why I walk so much
I say, “My car’s wheel fell off from a missing lug nut.”
‘Cause it’s a lemon, and it’s making me mad
I can’t tell my mama and I can’t tell my dad
I know he’ll be disgusted when he sees the engine busted
My mom will be so mad when she sees it leaking gas
It always overheats, it stalls without warning
My car’s a piece of crap, cause I bought a Hornet

I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
It’s been broke a long time

You can say I’m disgusted, even call me perturbed
But you’ll say I’m a loser when I’m broke and deserted
I play with the radio, but it’s no good
The car starts blowing steam, so I pop the hood
Just like a man, too proud to quit, I’d rather die
I get back in my car and start to cry
It always overheats, it stalls without warning
My car’s a piece of crap, cause I bought a Hornet

I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
It’s been broke a long time

It’s true, my car is broken and has really cost me
It breaks down when it’s hot and when rain makes it wetty
I tell my parents that I’m going out
Never to the movies, just straight to the mechanic’s house
I said to myself, I don’t like to play the fool
But this car has me licked, and it sucks up my money too
It always overheats, it stalls without warning
My car’s a piece of crap, cause I bought a Hornet

I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
I bought a Hornet
It’s been broke a long time
