  • Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
    I'm bound to roll all over you
    Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
    I'm bound to roll all over you
    I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
    And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

    Well, I'm a cement mixer
    A churning urn of burning funk
    Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
    A churning urn of burning funk
    Well, I'm a demolition derby (yeah)
    A hefty hunk of steaming junk, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    Now, I'm a napalm bomb, baby
    Just guaranteed to blow your mind
    Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
    Oh, guaranteed, just oh guaranteed to blow your mind, yeah
    And if I can't have your love for my own now
    Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
    It seems how lately, baby
    Got a bad case steamroller blues Writer/s: BILLY RANKIN, DAN MCCAFFERTY, PETER AGNEW
