Ragtop day

The five o'clock friday blows
I got to let it go
Put on my weekend clothes
Turn on the rock 'n' roll
Throw all our cares away
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day
Classy little white and red
Turns everybody's head
My baby meets me at the five and dime
She's always right on time
We roll all our cares away
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day
We'll cruise across the county line
A little dance and dine
A drive in picture show
When the midnight's comin' down we're headin' back to town
She lets her lovin' show
Whoa oh oh oh whoa
Feels like we're the only ones to see the mornin' sun
Sleepin' through the afternoon and risin' with the moon
Oh don't the stars look bright
It's a ragtop night
It's a ragtop night
We'll throw all our cares away
I live for that ragtop day
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day

"ooh, come on over here baby get in this car"
"we gonna cruise on down to the gulf"

"ooh, be careful of that stick shift!"
"ya, let's rockit ragtime"
"was that your husband that just passed us in that station wagon fulla kids?"
"let's get outta here, ow!"
