Transposer:

JAGUAR AND THUNDERBIRD As recorded by Chuck Berry (Released as a single in 1960) [Chorus] Slow down little Jaguar Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 1] Ten miles stretch on an Indiana road T’was a sky blue Jaguar and a Thunderbird Ford Jaguar setting on ninety-nine Tryin’ to beat the Bird to the county line Just a half-a-mile from Ludenville Had a speed sign sitting at the top of the hill It said "35 miles and stay in line" But the Jaguar and Thunderbird never read the sign [Chorus] N.C. Slow down little Jaguar C5 N.C. Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 2] Ludenville was a real small town Had a hundred and two and nine acres of ground Some stool pigeon put the sheriff wise Told him "Park down in Ludenville and catch ’em guys" Sheriff laid low down hid in the weeds Parked for eight days didn’t nobody speed All of a sudden dust rose on the road Said "Here come the Jaguar and Thunderbird Ford" [Chorus] N.C. Slow down little Jaguar C5 N.C. Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 3] Sheriff doubled clutched second put it in third Took right after the Jaguar and Thunderbird He knew he’ get bonus and big fat fine If he caught ’em ’fore they crossed that county line Sheriff never drove his car a hundred and flat But if he aimed to get ’em he’d have to do more than that Crest of the hill is about a yard behind There wasn’t but two more miles to the county line [Chorus] N.C. Slow down little Jaguar C5 N.C. Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 4] Old Sheriff was countin’ on the downward grade With the tall wind pushin’ he had it made Thunderbird saw the Jaguar gainin’ speed And waved "Goodbye Jaguar" and pulled in the lead Jaguar said "You ain’t won the race yet" And pulled back around the Bird like a sabre jet Sheriff’s front bumper was a yard behind When the T-Bird Jaguar crossed the line [Chorus] N.C. Slow down little Jaguar C5 N.C. Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford [Outro] Slow down little Jaguar Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford Slow down little Jaguar Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford Slow down little Jaguar Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford Slow down little Jaguar Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford

La chanson raconte une course effrénée entre deux voitures emblématiques, un Jaguar et un Thunderbird, sur une route de l'Indiana. Les deux conducteurs, animés par l'adrénaline, ignorent les limites de vitesse et sont poursuivis par le shérif de la ville. À mesure que la course avance, on ressent la montée de la tension, avec le shérif qui essaye de rattraper les deux voitures avant qu'elles ne franchissent la ligne de comté. Chaque véhicule tente de prendre l'avantage, créant une atmosphère palpitante pleine de rivalité et de vitesse. Cette chanson évoque non seulement l'enthousiasme des courses de voitures des années 60, mais elle reflète aussi le goût de la liberté et de la rébellion face à l'autorité, symbolisé par le shérif. C'est une pièce qui capture l'excitation d'une époque où la vitesse et l'adrénaline faisaient vibrer les cœurs.
