BBB F# B
         I bring the hammer down
BBB F# E
         A tiny crushing sound
BBB F# B
         I'm in the yard
BBB F# E
         Smashing match box cars
BBB F# B
         An itty bitty crash
BBB F# E
         And my machine is trash
BBB F# B
         But I'm blastin' past
BBB F# E                     Ab
         With chickey on the dash, chickey on the gas  'go chickey!'

repeat intro (clean sound/acoustic guitar)

I will survive in my mach 5, in my mach 5 I will survive

The firecracker blow
An urge overload
The wild plastic fire
Smoke from the tire
Layin' a little patch
Without a single scratch
Between the hammer and the rock I
Can see bright blue mach 5

Oh my goodness...
It's the most beautiful
little thing I've ever seen in my life
It's blue on the outside
And creamy on the interior
I can't bring myself to smash it
So I take it for a ride on a
Sunny summer sunday afternoon
I'm riding with the top down
Riding with the top down
Riding with the top down
Hell I blew the top right off my car!

I will survive in my mach 5, in my mach 5 I will survive
