[Intro]
Don't you know
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A

[Verse 1]
They're driving ol' woodies up in Salt Lake City
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
Strippin' 'em down now they sure look pretty
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
They're racing all over even out on the coast now
Give it a try you're gonna dig it the most now

[Chorus]
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
Winding out in old L.A. now
Running through the Frisco Bay now
Shut 'em down in Philly, PA now
All around you can hear 'em say
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A

[Verse 2]
They're building deuce coupes out in old Cincinnati
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
Pullin' out flat heads and droppin' in Caddies
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
They're brеakin' track records out in Abilene
Thеy're burnin' up the quarter mile in New Orleans
[Chorus]
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
Winding out in old L.A. now
Running through the Frisco Bay now
Shut 'em down in Philly, PA now
All around you can hear 'em say
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A

[Verse 3]
Summer's almost here we'll have some fun, fun, fun, now
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
Jump in your car and make a trophy run now
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
The whole thing started back in '63
With Jan and Dean, The Beach Boys, and me

[Chorus]
(Hot Rod U.S.A.)
Winding out in old L.A. now
Running through the Frisco Bay now
Shut 'em down in Philly, PA now
All around you can hear 'em say
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A

[Outro]
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A
They're shuttin' 'em down in every town in the U.S.A
