Does someone have the lyrics to Mighty GTO by Jan & Dean, or know of a web
site where I can find them?

I'm a novelist and am using the music for a scene in one of my books.

Thanks to all who assist!!

I think it was Little GTO and I think it was Ronnie and the Daytonas. I'll
give it a try:

Little GTO you're really lookin fine
3 deuces and 4 speed and a 389
Listen to her taching up now
Listen to her whine
You gotta turn it on , Wind it up, Blow it out. GTO

Gonna save up my money and buy a GTO
Bring it down to Pomona and really let her Go
_________________and really let him know
_________________little buddy gonna shut you down
When I turn it on , Wind it up, Blow it out. GTO.

I can't remember all teh words and I'm not sure about the ones I could
remember. I searched the WEB and couldn't find then anywhere, but the url
below will get you to an advertisment to buy a bet of Ronnie and the
Daytonas which has GTO on it. Good luck.

I think Joe Rizzo is on to something here:

from Lyrics World

G.T.O.
Ronnie and the Daytonas
Written by John Wilkin

- Peak chart position # 4 in 1964
- The title track from their 1964 debut album for another Beach Boys'
soundalike,
this one from Nashville. The Daytonas had a little trouble hitting the
high tenor
notes in the studio, so they resorted to speeding up their voices for
this song.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Some lyrics are spelled phonetically, i.e.,
"why-ee-eye-
ine" = whine,
so as to look more like what was sung.


Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine
Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389
Listen to her tachin' up now, listen to her why-ee-eye-ine
C'mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO

Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa (mixed with "Ahhh, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa

You oughta see her on a road course or a quarter mile
This little modified Pon-Pon has got plenty of style
She beats the gassers and the rail jobs, really drives 'em
why-ee-eye-ild
C'mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO


Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa (mixed with "Ahhh, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa

<instrumental break>

MIXTURE
Gonna save all my money (turnin' it on, blowin' it out) and buy a GTO
(turnin' it on,
blowin' it out)
Get a helmet and a roll bar (turnin' it on, blowin' it out) and I'll be
ready to go
(turnin'
it on, blowin' it out)
Take it out to Pomona (turnin' it on, blowin' it out) and let 'em know
(turnin' it on,
blowin' it out), yeah, yeah
That I'm the coolest thing around
Little buddy, gonna shut you down
When I turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO


Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa, (mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
(mixed with "Yeah, yeah, little GTO")
Wa-wa (mixed with "Ahhh, little GTO") wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa

FADE
