Grease
John Travolta/Olivia Newton-Jo Lyrics

Why, this car is automatic
This car is easy to operate

Systematic
The car operates in a routine, set manner

Hydromatic
The car has a hydraulic transmission

Why it's a grease lightnin'
This car moves like lightning

(Grease lightnin')
Reinforcing the idea that the car moves fast

I got chills they're multiplying
I am deeply affected by this experience

And I'm losing control
I am no longer in charge of my emotions

'Cause the power you're supplying
Your actions are incredibly influential

It's electrifying (it's electrifying)
I feel a jolt of energy and excitement

You better shape 'cause I need a man
You must improve yourself to meet my standards

And my heart is set on you (and my heart is set on you)
I am fully committed to you

You better shape up
You should improve yourself

You better understand, to my heart it must be true
You must realize how important this is to me

(Nothing left, nothing left for me to do)
I have reached the end of my patience

You're the one that I want (you are the one for) ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
You are the perfect partner for me

The one that I need (you are the one for), ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
You fulfill all my needs and desires

The one I need, oh yes indeed
You are the only one who can complete me

We'll get some overhead lifters
We will improve the car's performance

And some four barrel quads oh yeah
We will add a high-performance carburetor

(Keep talking, whoa, keep talking)
We are enthusiastic about this topic

Fuel injection cutoffs and chrome-plated rods oh yeah
We will add features that improve both performance and appearance

(I'll get the money, I'll kill to get the money)
We will do whatever it takes to finance these upgrades

With a four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door
The car will be so impressive that people will be lining up to see it

You know that I ain't braggin' she's a real pussy wagon
I am not exaggerating, this car is truly amazing

Grease lightnin', go, go, go, go
The car is ready to speed off

Go grease lightnin', you're burning up the quarter mile
The car is extremely fast and powerful

Go grease lightnin', go grease lightnin'
Reinforcing the idea that the car is incredibly fast

You're coasting through the hit lap trial
You are effortlessly cruising through the trial

You are supreme, the chicks'll cream for grease lightnin'
The car is the absolute best and most attractive

We'll get some purple pitched tail lights and thirty inch fins, oh yeah (ooh)
We will add some unique and flashy features to the car

A Palomino dashboard and duel-muffler twins, oh yeah (Ooo)
We will also improve the car's interior and add a distinct new exhaust system

With new pistons, plugs and shocks, I can get off my rocks
The car's performance will be significantly improved with new parts

Summer lovin' had me a blast
I had a wonderful time during the summer

Summer lovin' happened so fast
I had an intense and brief romantic fling

I met a girl crazy for me
I encountered a woman who was deeply interested in me

Met a boy cute as can be
I met a charming and attractive man

Summer days drifting a way to oh, oh the summer nights
I spent the days relaxing and enjoying the warm weather, leading to romantic summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
I want to learn more about this experience

Did you get very far?
How intense and successful was this relationship?

Like does he have a car?
Is the man well-off and impressive?

(Doo, ah ha, do-roo, ah ha, do-roo, ah ha, do-roo ah ha)
Non-verbal filler in the song

She swam by me she got a cramp
The woman swam near me and had a muscle spasm

He ran by me got my suit damp
The man sprinted past me and caused my clothing to become wet

I saved her life she nearly drown
I rescued the woman from drowning

He showed off splashing around
The man demonstrated his swimming skills by causing a splash

Summer sun something's begun but oh, oh the summer nights
The bright and warm summer weather started something, leading to steamy summer nights

Tell me more tell me more
I continue to be interested in the details of this experience

Was it love at first sight?
Did this relationship start immediately with true love?

Did she put up a fight?
Did the woman resist the attraction and relationship?

It turned colder that's where it ends
The relationship ended when the weather got colder

So I told her we'd still be friends
I reassured her that we could remain friends regardless of the end of the romance

Then we made our true love vows
We promised to love each other forever

Wonder what she's doing now
I wonder about the current activities and status of the woman

Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh, those summer nights
My dreams of summer were destroyed, but the summer nights remain special to me
