Then the last one of the chorus just slide up to a "A"
instead of that riff

Verse:
             I bring the hammer down.           A tiny crushing sound  
             And I'm in the yard                Smashing match box cars 
             An itty bitty crash                And my machine is trash 
             But I'm blastin' past

Ab5                                                Play intro 2 times(acoustic)
With chickey on the dash, chickey on the gas... go chickey 


Chorus

Verse 2:
(Same verse riff)
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 
                         Ab
Can see a bright blue mach 5, it's my mach 5 

This part has a semi-dirty guitar sound and here is the riff:
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
-4-4---4---4-4-4---4---2-2---2---2-/-9-9----9----9-
-4-6p4-6p4-4-4-6p4-6p4-2-4p2-4p2-2-/-9-11p9-11p9-9-
-2-2---2---2-2-2---2---0-0---0---0-/-7-7----7----7-

Oh my goodness... 
It's the most beautiful 
Little thing I've ever seen in my life 
It's blue on the outside 
And all creamy on the inside... yeah 
I can't bring myself to smash it 
So I take it for a ride on a 
                         F#5
Sunny summer Sunday afternoon   
                              E5
And I'm riding with the top down 
Riding with the top down 
                       B55
Riding with the top down 
  Ab5
Hell I blew the top right off my car!

Then play the intro 4 times with some wierd effect  

Outro:
Chorus 2 times

Then he starts singing "I want to go!"
