Dashing through the snow in my rusty Chevrolet. 
Down the road I go, sliding all the way. 
I need new piston rings. I need some new snow tires. 
My car is held together by a piece of chicken wire! 

Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away. 
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay. 
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay. 
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet! 

I went to IGA, to get some Christmas cheer. 
I just passed up my left front tire and it's gettin' hard to steer. 
Speeding down the highway, right past the county cops.
I have to drag my swampers just to get the car to stop. 

Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away. 
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay. 
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay. 
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet! 

Bouncing through the snowdrifts in a big, blue cloud of smoke. 
People laugh as I drive by; I wonder what's the joke! 
I have to get to Wal-Mart to pick up my layaway, 
Cause Santa's comin' soon in his big, old, rusty sleigh! 

Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away. 
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay. 
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay. 
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusttttttttty Chevroooooooleeeeeet!
