Song ratings

Rating Comments Author Date
Average song rating Two songs appearing on this Little Deuce Coupe album also appeared on the preceding album, Surfer Girl ("Little Deuce Coupe" and "Our Car Club"). That provides the reason that the Capitol Records two-fer CD releases pairs up Surfer Girl with Shut Down Vol. 2 instead of this album. Little Deuce Coupe gets the lead-off spot on this album, as well as the album's title, as it is perhaps the Beach Boy's best known car song, as well as the best-written. Like most of the car songs on this album, Roger Christian provided the lyrics for the Brian Wilson tune, and Mike Love delivers one of his trademark vocals. Bruce Beatlefan February 23, 2008

Lyrics

Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got
Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got

Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don't even try
Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like (she's) it's standin' still
She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored.
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that aint enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy

And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears

She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
