Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
✕
[Verse 1]
Jerry was a race car driver
He drove so goddamned fast
Never did win no checkered flags
But he never did come in last
Jerry was a race car driver
He'd say "El Sob number one"
With a Bocephus sticker on his 442
He'd light 'em up just for fun
[Verse 2]
Captain Pierce was a fireman
Richmond engine number three
I'll be a wealthy man when I get a dime
For all the things that man he taught to me
Captain Pierce was a strong man
Strong as any man alive
Stuck in his craw that they made him retire
At the age of 65
[Bridge]
Go!
Heh, heh, heh, heh
Dog will hunt!
[Verse 3]
Jerry was a race car driver
22 years old
One too many cold beers one night
And wrapped himself around a telephone pole, go!

Primus Lyrics
"Jerry Was A Race Car Driver"
Fire it up man!
Jerry was a race car driver
He drove so god-damned fast
Never did win no checkered flag
But he never did come in last
Jerry was a race car driver
He'd say "El Sob number one"
With a Bocephus sticker
On his 442 he'd light 'em up
Just for fun
Captain Pierce was a
fireman
Richmond engine #3
I'll be a wealthy man when I get a dime
For all the things that man had taught to me
Captain Pierce was a strong man
Strong as any man alive
Stuck in his craw
That made him retire
At the age of 65
Go!
Dog will hunt!
Jerry was a race car driver
22 years old
One too many cold beers one night
And wrapped himself around a telephone pole
