D     E                      E A D
Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full blast and top down
D     E
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Asus2
Model citizen, zero discipline
F#
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
C#m
You'll lose her in the turn
I'll get her

Chorus:
D
Panama
Panama oh
Panama
Panama oh

Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel,
keep the moving parts clean
Hot shoe burnin' down the avenue
Got an on ramp comin' through my bedroom
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
You'll lose her in the turn
I'll get her

Chorus:
Waa ow
Panama
Panama, oh
Panama
Panama, oh ho oh ho ho
Woo!

D                                      Bm
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
D
I can barely see the road from
                        Bm
the heat comin' off of it
D
Ah, you reach down between my legs
Bm
Ease the seat back

D             E          F
She's blindin', I'm flyin'
                  G
Right behind the rear view mirror now
G              G#
Got the feelin', power steering
                 A
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

Chorus:
Panama
Panama, ho
Panama
Panama, oh ho oh ho ho
Panama
Panama, oh ho oh ho ho
Panama
