Mustang Sally,
Guess you better slow your Mustang down
Mustang Sally, my baby,
Guess you better slow your Mustang down
You been a runnin' all over town now,
Guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground

All you wanna do is a ride around, Sally (RIDE SALLY RIDE)
All you wanna do is a ride around, Sally (RIDE SALLY RIDE)
All you wanna do is a ride around, Sally (RIDE SALLY RIDE)
All you wanna do is a ride around, Sally (RIDE SALLY RIDE)

One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wipin' those weepin' eyes.

I bought you a brand new Mustang, it was a nineteen sixty-five
Now you comin' 'round, signifyin' a woman,
Girl you won't, you won't let me ride
Mustang Sally, now baby,
Guess you better slow that Mustang down.
You been a runnin' all over the town,
Oh, I gotta put your flat feet on the ground.

One of these early mornings, I'm gonna be wipin' your weepin' eyes.
