This was in a car magazine, probably in 1962 based on the cars involved.


The midnight ride of Hank Revere.

Listen my children and you will hear
of the midnight ride of Hank Revere.

I was stopped at a red light in my 406
burning three two barrels and a four speed stick.

I glanced in the mirror and coming up behind
was a loud red Chevy, 409.

I paused a second when the light turned turned green
and he pulled up beside me looking kinda mean.

He rolled down his window, took a look at my flags
then yelled real loud, "You wanna drag?"

I said "no, at least not much”
but when he said “go” I popped the clutch.

I was still burning rubber when I hit second gear
and the roar of that engine was all I could hear.

That Ford had a lot with my foot on the floor
but that Chevy beside me had a little bit more.

So I skipped third gear and went into high
and that Chevy sounded mean as I went by.

In the speed of a second he shifted too
and then I could tell we weren’t through.

Up ahead was a stop sign and he didn't stop,
neither did I and I heard that siren as we went by

I knew right then this race should end
with the cops behind and ahead a sharp bend.

As we entered that curve he started to slide
As he tore thru that lamp pole, Hank Revere died.

There’s a moral to this story that’s plain to see
Don’t race on the highway or you'll be in a cell like me.
