Lyrics

Coupe DeVille

When the sun is high in a clear blue sky
And you need to get out of the house
Maybe go for a drive on the PCH
With the soft top down
Before it gets too late

In my jet black Cadillac Coup DeVille
On the boulevard in Beverly Hills
I saw her standing there
She was dressed to kill

Said to myself if she looks my way
Should I stop the car
I wouldn’t know what to say
And then she did
With a wave and a perfect smile
So I slammed on the brakes
And we talked for awhile

In my jet black Cadillac Coup DeVille
On the boulevard in Beverly Hills
I saw her standing there
She was dressed to kill
In my jet black Cadillac Coup DeVille
When I stopped she said
What a beautiful day
I was on my way to a matinee
I’d prefer you take me for a ride

What’s that sound that’s ringing in my head
I rolled over and fell right outta bed

If it was just a dream how could it be so real
I could smell her perfume from behind the wheel
So I hit the alarm, climbed back into bed
Then I closed my eyes and took her for a ride

In my jet black Cadillac Coup DeVille
On the boulevard in Beverly Hills
I saw her standing there
She was dressed to kill
In my jet black Cadillac Coup DeVille
When I stopped she said
What a beautiful day
I was on my way to a matinee
I’d prefer you take me for a ride
