Lyrics

Fire it up, man!
Jerry was a race car driver
He drove so goddamn fast
He 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
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Captain Pierce was a fireman
Richmond engine number 3
I'll be a wealthy man when I get a dime
For all the things that man taught to me
Captain Pierce was a strong man
Strong as any man alive
It stuck in his craw that they made him retire
At the age of sixty-five
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Go!
Hehehe! Dog will hunt!
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Jerry was a race car driver
Twenty-two years old
One too many Crowbars one night
And wrapped himself around a telephone pole
Written by: Larry LaLonde, Les Claypool, Tim Alexander
