Lyrics:

Hey, look a-here
What's all this?
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
A brand new convertible is out of my class
I'll buy that car and I'll go riding around
But that ain't no harm in thinking to myself
That's fine-lookin' man, it's something else

Hey, look a-here
What's all this?
I never thought I'd see this look before
But here I am a-knockin' on her door
The car's out front and it's all mine
Just a '41 Ford, '69
That ain't stopping me from thinking to myself
It's okay, baby, it's something else

Hey, look a-here
I guess it's right
I see that girl walking down the street
She's the sweet I'd like to meet
I guess I'll ask if she'll come for a walk
Maybe we'll go walking in the park
And then I know right to myself
She's okay, baby, yes, I said, she's somethin' else

Oh, she's somethin' else
Oh, she's somethin' else

Influences: This is a cover of Eddie Cochran's song titled Somethin' Else.



Somethin' Else - Eddie Cochran

Uh-look-ah there
There she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with older guys from out of my class
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine-lookin' man, she's somethin' else

Hey look-ah there
Across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
But right now I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
That car's fine-lookin' man, it's somethin' else

Hey look-ah here
Just wait and see
Workin' hard and savin' my dough
I'll buy that car that I've be wanting so
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
They'll look, be all shocked with my white top down
I'll keep right on and dreamin' and-ah thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true, man, wow, that's somethin' else

Look-ah here
What's all this?
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am ah-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a '41 Ford, not a '59
I got that girl and I'm-ah thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine-lookin', man, wow, she's somethin else
