If I was a Staggerwing plane, a Staggerwing painted red
I'd fly over to your house, baby - buzz you in your bed
If I was a Taperwing, a Taperwing painted blue
I'd be barrell-rolling over you
You're gon’na need a rider anyhow - let me be your rider now
You're gon’na need a rider anyhow - let me be your rider now
If I was a Fender guitar, a Fender painted red
You could play me, darlin' - until your fingers bled
If I was one of them Gibsons - like a '58 or '9
You could plug me in and play me anytime
You're gon’na need a rider anyhow - let me be your rider now
You're gon’na need a rider anyhow - let me be your rider now
I'd ride around to your house, baby - get you up to speed
If I was a short track racer I'd be an Indian
You could ride me around and ride me round again
You're gon’na need a rider anyhow - let me be your rider now
You're gon’na need a rider anyhow - let me be your rider now
