Jerry Was a Race Car Driver - Les Claypool's Duo De Twang

Jerry was a race car driver

And he drove so goddamned fast

He never did win no checkered flag

But he never did come in last

Jerry was a race car driver

He'd say El solo number one

With a bocephus sticker

On his 442 he'd light 'em up

Just for fun

Captain Pierce was a fireman

Richmond engine number three

I'll be a wealthy man when I get

A dime for all the things that

Man taught to me

Captain Pierce was a strong man

Strong as any man alive

It stuck in his craw that they

Made him retire at the age of 65

Jerry was a race car driver

22 years old

Had too many cold beers one night

And wrapped himself around a telephone pole.
