[Verse 1]
I am the emperor of the highway
I wield the universal will
One might chance to overlook on my divineness
Unless I'm sitting in the Imperial Poupe de Ville

I am the emperor of the highway
Strapped with foolish mortals such as these
I need never indicate my intentions
I can stop and go and turn just as I please
For I am the emperor of the highway

[Bridge]
Hold!
Methinks that thou hast driven too far
I am the royal prince of foreign sports cars
Better that I should drive a wheelchair or jog
Than to be blown off by a regal road hog

[Verse 2]
I am the emperor of the highway
(Where did you ever get that gas sucking pig of a car? )
This time my friend, you are outclassed
(Any real man would drive a stick shift)
For my uncle is the duke of the state police
(Cut me off again and I will punch your lights out)
And he will place his royal boot upon your ass
(This is my exit, we shall meet another day)
[Outro]
Don't forget who's emperor of the highway
For I am the emperor of the highway!
