Ronnie and the Daytonas
Written by
John Wilkin
- Peak chart position # 4 in
1964
- The title track from their 1964 debut
album for another Beach Boys' soundalike,
this
one from Nashville. The Daytonas had a little
trouble hitting the high tenor
notes in the
studio, so they resorted to speeding up their
voices for this song.
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:
Some lyrics are spelled phonetically, i.e.,
"why-ee-eye-
ine" = whine,
so as to look
more like what was sung.
Little GTO,
you're really lookin' fine
Three deuces and a
four-speed and a 389
Listen to her tachin' up
now, listen to her why-ee-eye-ine
C'mon and
turn it on, wind it up, blow it out
GTO
Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little
GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah,
yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah,
yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa,
wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little
GTO")
Wa-wa (mixed with "Ahhh, little GTO")
wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
You oughta see her
on a road course or a quarter mile
This little
modified Pon-Pon has got plenty of style
She
beats the gassers and the rail jobs, really
drives 'em why-ee-eye-ild
C'mon and turn it
on, wind it up, blow it out GTO
Wa-wa,
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa,
wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little
GTO")
Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little
GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with
"Yeah, yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa (mixed with
"Ahhh, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa,
wa
MIXTURE
Gonna save all my money
(turnin' it on, blowin' it out) and buy a GTO
(turnin' it on,
blowin' it out)
Get a
helmet and a roll bar (turnin' it on, blowin' it
out) and I'll be ready to go
(turnin'
it
on, blowin' it out)
Take it out to Pomona
(turnin' it on, blowin' it out) and let 'em know
(turnin' it on,
blowin' it out), yeah,
yeah
That I'm the coolest thing
around
Little buddy, gonna shut you
down
When I turn it on, wind it up, blow it
out GTO
Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah,
yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa,
wa

GTO")

GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
