Verse 1:

      C                     G
Young Johnnie Steele has an Oldsmobile
   G7                  C   G7
He loves a dear little girl
    C                   G
She is the queen of his gas machine
    G7                 C
She has his heart in a whirl

    D7                 G
Now when they go for a spin,you know
    D7                 G
She tries to learn the auto so.
   D7                      G        Gdim
He lets her steer while he gets her ear
    D7                 G  G7
And whis-pers soft and low

Chorus:

       C              A7
Come a-way with me Lu-cile
      D7
In my merry Oldsmobile
         G7      Gdim       G7
Down the road of life we'll fly
        C        Gdim    Dm7G7
Auto-mo-bubbling you and I

       C                    A7
To the church we'll swiftly steal
         D7
Then our wedding bells will peal
        G7               C         A7
You can go as far as you like with me
      D7    G7     C   G7
In my merry Olds-mobile

Verse 2:

     C                    G
They love to spark in the dark old park
   G7               C   G7
As they go flying a-long
    C                      G
She says she knows why the motor goes
    G7                C
The sparker's awfully strong

     D7                    G
Each day they spoon to the engine's tune
      D7              G
Their honey moon will happen soon
      D7                 G       Gdim
He'll win Lucile with his Oldsmo-bile
    D7                G    G7
And then he'll fondly croon

Chorus Repeat:
