You and I go down to the speedway,
Gonna watch the cars all race today.
Waiting for the green light to go on,
As soon as it does, they're all gone.
Down on the track the race did begin.
We're yelling for our favorite to win.
Driving so fast they seem to fly.
99 cars go zooming by.


99 cars go zoom.
Speeding 'round the big racetrack.
Driving close behind the pace
Car it pulls aside, and starts the race.
The speed machines rev to life.
Set their gears to overdrive.
Try to pass on the inside.
As 99 cars go zooming by.



99 driving fast.
99 blow right past.
To crash, crash, super-smash.
Call the medics out in a flash.
This is it, the time and place,
This is it boys, the big race.
The team mechanic's on the line
As 99 cars go zooming by.



99 drivers go far
In super-high-tech racing cars.
Everyone's Mario Andretti.
Everyone's Dale Earnhardt.
With orders to identify.
To pull up nigh and pass them by.
Scramble under the summer sky.
As 99 cars go zooming by.



99 races I have had.
Every one is done too soon.
The race is over and I'm driving fain.
On a victory lap to the winner's lane.
They give me lots of souvenirs.
To prove to everyone that I was here.
And won the Indy 500
I beat them all, not for the last time.
