Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a steamroller, babe
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, babe
I'm bound to roll all over you
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna inject your soul
With some sweet rock 'n' roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, babe
A churning urn of burning funk, mhm
[Verse 4]
Well, I'm a demolition derby, yeah
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, babe
[Verse 5]
Now, I'm a napalm bomb, babe
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Whoa, guaranteed, just, oh
Guaranteed to blow your mind, yeah
And if I can't have your love for my own now
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, babe
Got a bad case steamroller blues
