with music comin' in my ears, in my ears.

A bass (played 4 times here)
They call me Baby Driver, and once upon a pair of wheels

what's my num-ber,
F#7
I wonder how your engine feels, ba ba ba ba ba,

I wonder how your engine feels.

Oh, come into my room and play, yes, we can play.
Chorus 3:
---------
I'm not talkin' about your pigtails, I'm talkin' 'bout your sex-appeal

Scoot down the road, what's my number,
I wonder how your engine feels.
