I Was In Love With Danny (but The Crowd Was I

Kimi & Ritz

They were big healthy boys

You wouldn't think that they needed

To take what they'd take on that scene

Danny had blue-black hair and a hot rod

Danny was an ace of the circuit

And Dean was flash and mean



Danny drove a black V8 fuel-injected

The head planed, you know what I mean

And Dean had a straight with flames on the bonnet

I was in love with Danny

But the crowd was in love with Dean



They drove their hot rods into hell and back

And as a matter of fact

You couldn't get a razor blade between

Their wheels as they came around the corner

And I was in love with Danny

But the crowd was in love with Dean



It was the last time around

The flag came down

The crowd roared, their heads turned

Tires screamed and rubber burned



They came into the straight, neck and neck

Then it happened

Danny's car went into a spin

And Dean was killed trying to avoid it

And the crowd was united in hysterium

But Danny, he went on to win



Danny gave up racing

Found he couldn't face it

He ended up on gin and gasoline

Dean had died a hero, but Danny died a zero

And I was in love with Danny

But the crowd was in love with Dean



They drove their hot rods into hell and back

And as a matter of fact

You couldn't get a razor blade between

Their wheels as they came around the corner

And I was in love with Danny

But the crowd was in love with Dean



I was in love with Danny

But the crowd was in love with Dean (4x)
