Challenger
Challenger's Red Camaro: A Rivalry's Unexpected Turn
Lyrics
By Walter Egan
Introduction by Walter Egan
It was a Sunday night I will never forget,
Recollection of a memorable Sunday night
Driving down the street in my red Camaro,
Driving in a red Camaro down the street
As I pulled in to the seven eleven,
Stopping at a Seven Eleven
The locals eyed a stranger that they did not know.
Locals observing an unfamiliar person
Challenger he's the new contender,
Introduction of "Challenger" as a new contender
Challenger and he better know
Highlighting the importance of the Challenger
Challenger we don't want no trouble from
Expressing a desire for no trouble from the Challenger
The Challenger in the red Camaro.
Identifying the Challenger as the one in the red Camaro
He made his move and he made his challenge,
Challenger issuing a challenge
"Anybody want to put his pink on the line?"
Inviting others to wager ("pink slip") their possessions
Behind the wheel slipped the local hero,
Local hero takes the challenge behind the wheel
REady set go and their engines whined.
Starting the race with engines whining
The air was tense from the screaming metal thunder,
Tension builds as the race intensifies
The challenger's machine ate up the local hero's
Challenger's car surpasses the local hero's
But when the dust cleared instead of his pink slip,
Surprising outcome - not the expected "pink slip"
I had the hero's baby in my red Camaro.
Unexpectedly, the protagonist has the hero's baby
Challenger I'm the new contender,
Reiteration of the Challenger as a new contender
Challenger forget about your baby,
Suggesting the Challenger should forget about the baby
Now she rides in my red Camaro...
Claiming the hero's baby now rides in the red Camaro
