Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Teddy's rollin' now most every night
Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
He's changed, in a thousand little ways
He's changed, yes, indeed
[Chorus]
You know he's movin' on metal, yes, he's
Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed
[Verse 2]
Sheena's party, there's a case in point
That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
He's gone, he walks through the old routines
But he's gone, guaranteed
[Chorus]
He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed
[Bridge]
You maybe got lucky for a few good years
There's no way back from there to here
He's a one-way rider on the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less
[Verse 3]
He can't hear you, honey, that's all right
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop, he'll be calling out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead
[Chorus]
You better move now, little darling, or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed
[Bridge]
You maybe got lucky for a few good years
There's no way back from there to here
He's a one way rider on the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less
[Verse 4]
He can't hear you, honey, that's all right
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop, he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead
[Chorus]
Better move now, little darlin', or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed
Uh-huh
The Jack of Speed
Don't stop now
Honey
[Outro]
Jack of Speed
Don't stop
Jack of Speed
Jack of Speed
