[Verse 1]
Teddy's rollin' now most every night
Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
He's changed—in a thousand little ways
He's changed—yes indeed

[Chorus]
You know he's movin' on metal, yes he's
Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed

[Verse 2]
Sheena's party—there's a case in point
That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
But he's gone—he walks through the old routines
But he's gone—guaranteed

[Chorus]
He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed

[Bridge]
You maybe got lucky for a few good years
There's no way back from there to here
He's a one-way rider on the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less
[Verse 3]
He can't hear you, honey—that's alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop—he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead

[Chorus]
You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You maybe got lucky for a few good years
There's no way back from there to here
He's a one-way rider on the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less

[Verse 3]
He can't hear you, honey—that's alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop—he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead

[Chorus]
You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed
[Post-Chorus]
Uh huh, the Jack of Speed
Don't stop now
Honey

[Outro]
Jack of Speed
Jack of Speed
Jack of Speed
