Well I’m a road runner honey yeao yea
I’m a road runner honey
And you can’t keep up with me
Well I’m a road runner lover
And you can’t keep up with me
You got a green light baby
Baby baby you will see
Well move over honey
Baby let me by
Yeah move over honey
Common let me by
I want to show you baby cheers
Here’s mud in yo eye
Well eat my dust
Let’s have a road runner wedding
And we gotta get it right
They’ll be a road runner wedding
Yeah but it can’t be white
Wedding bells tomorrow morning
And burn some rubber tonight huh huh ha ha
Well I’m a road runner honey beep beep
Well I’m a road runner honey beep beep
Well I’m a road runner honey beep beep
Well I’m a road runner honey beep beep
Well I’m a road runner
Well I’m a road runner
Well I’m a road runner
A road runner
A road runner
A road runner honey
Yeah
