Lyrics:

Teddy's rollin' now most every night
Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
He's changed—in a thousand little ways
He's changed—yes indeed

You know he's movin' on metal, yes he's
Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed

Sheena's party—there's a case in point
That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
But he's gone—he walks through the old routines
But he's gone—guaranteed

He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed

You maybe got lucky for a few good years
There's no way back from there to here
He's a one-way rider on the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less

He can't hear you, honey—that's alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop—he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead

You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed


You maybe got lucky for a few good years
There's no way back from there to here
He's a one-way rider on the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less

He can't hear you, honey—that's alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop—he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead

You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed

Uh huh, the Jack of Speed
Don't stop now
Honey

Jack of Speed
Jack of Speed
Jack of Speed
