Systematic
Hydromatic
Why its a Grease lightning (Grease lightning)
I got chills they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
Cause the power you're supplying
You better shape coz I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better,to my heart I must be true
You're the one that I want
The one that I need
Oh yes indeed
Why it's a Grease lightning (grease lightning)
We'll get some overhead lifters
And some four barrel quads oh yeah
(keep talking whoa keep talking)
Fuel injection cutoffs and crome plated rods oh yeah
(I'll get the money I'll kill to get the money)
With a four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door
You know that I ain't braggin she's a real pussy wagon
Grease Lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go Grease Lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
Grease lightning go grease lightning
Go grease lightning you're coasting through the hit lap trial
Grease lightning go grease lightning
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting a way to oh oh the summer night
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drown
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun somethings begun but oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more tell me more
Did she put up a fight?
It turned colder that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
The Grease Megamix is a medley of songs from the musical film Grease. The lyrics of the song reflect the high-energy excitement and adrenaline rush of racing cars, particularly the iconic Greased Lightning car. The opening lines, "This car is automatic, systematic, hydromatic, why it's a Grease lightning," boast the car's many impressive features and set the tone for the rest of the song. The chorus then declares, "Go Grease Lightning, you're burning up the quarter mile," celebrating the thrill of speed and the excitement of taking risks.
The song also showcases the movie's romantic storyline, as seen in the lines, "I got chills, they're multiplying, and I'm losing control, 'cause the power you're supplying, it's electrifying." This speaks to the intense attraction and passion between the two main characters, Sandy and Danny. The Medley also features the famous duet between Sandy and Danny, "You're the One That I Want," and the nostalgic "Summer Nights" which sums up the movie's storyline.

Did she put up a fight?
Did the girl resist the boy's advances?
It turned colder that's where it ends
As temperatures dropped, their summer romance came to a close
So I told her we'd still be friends
I reassured her that we would remain friends even though our romance was over
Then we made our true love vow
Before we parted ways, we made a promise to remain faithful to each other
Wonder what she's doing now
I am curious about what she is currently doing
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nights
Their summer dreams have been shattered, but the memories of their summer nights remain
