The Lyrics
He take the blanket from the front seat
He throw the mattress in the back
He's a strong man but he's begging me
To give him what he seems to lack
We've got to hidey-hide
We're gonna have some fun
We've got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old van down by the road...
I'm so glad you bought those curtains
I don't want no one to see
Yes, it's true the traffic's whizzing by
But I like our privacy
We've got to hidey-hide
The van is hoppin' like a toad
We've got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old van down by the road.
(Guitar Solo 1)
And dimly through the steamy windows
I see the flashlight of a cop
Butt's a shadow 'cross the window
But you just can't seem to stop.
You got to ridey-ride
You got to jump me once again
You got to ridey-ridey-ride
The old van down by the road
The old van down by the road.
(Guitar Solo 2)
You got to, you got to, you got to ridey-ridey-ride.
He throw the mattress in the back
He's a strong man but he's begging me
To give him what he seems to lack
We've got to hidey-hide
We're gonna have some fun
We've got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old van down by the road...
I'm so glad you bought those curtains
I don't want no one to see
Yes, it's true the traffic's whizzing by
But I like our privacy
We've got to hidey-hide
The van is hoppin' like a toad
We've got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old van down by the road.
(Guitar Solo 1)
And dimly through the steamy windows
I see the flashlight of a cop
Butt's a shadow 'cross the window
But you just can't seem to stop.
You got to ridey-ride
You got to jump me once again
You got to ridey-ridey-ride
The old van down by the road
The old van down by the road.
(Guitar Solo 2)
You got to, you got to, you got to ridey-ridey-ride.
