Filk: HotRod Incom

To the tune of:
"HotRod Lincoln"
[Commander Cody]
==================

[Intro Verse]

My pappy said "Wedge,
You're gonna drive me to drinkin',
If you don't stop flyin'
That HotRod Incom..."

[Cue Acoustical Bass-Guitar <Han's> Solo]

Have you heard the story
of the HotRod flight?
Where the Imp's and Rebels
got into a fight -
That story is true
I'm here to say,
as I was flyin' X-Wings
that day..

It's got Incom motors
that're really souped up,
that streamlined nose
makes it look like a pup,
it's got 4 turbolasers
and it uses them all,
It's got Hyperdrive
just won't stall..

With an R2 Mech,
and Dual ProtoTorps,
with  4 revvin' `G's
you can really `get lost'
It's gotta safety suit
but I ain't scared,
the repulsors're good,
the shields fair..

Pulled out of San Fey'la
late one night,
Them moon & the stars
was shinin' bright,
we was flyin' up
to smuggler Bill's,
we was passin' Imps
like they're standin' still,

[Cue Acoustical Bass-Guitar <Han's> Solo]

All of a sudden
in the wink of an eye,
some super-stardestroyer
had passed us by,
It said "Boy's
it's tomorrow for me"
By then the taillights
was all you could see...

Now the boy's had ribbed me
for bein' behind,
So I thought i'd make
those Incom's un-wind,
took my foot off the blast
and `man-alive',
I shoved it on down
into Hyper-Drive,

I wound `em up
to `fast as they can',
the Astromech
said I'd hit `top-end'
my foot was Blue
on that metal floor,
that's all there is
and there ain't no more..

Now the boy's all thought
I'd wet my seat,
them blurry white blobs
looked like a pi-cket fleet,
they said "slow down
as I see squints,
Those lines near us
are laser-glints.."

We took a corner
side-swiped some Imp,
I gave him the finger
like he was some Pimp,
my wingtips were clickin'
the Tie's center post
Tycho beside me
was as white as a ghost,

[Cue Acoustical Bass-Guitar <Han's> Solo]

Smoke was comin'
from outta the back,
as I was catchin'
Im-per-ial flack,
Luke could catch `em
I thought we could pass,
don'tcha know by then
we'd be low on `blasts',

There were flames a-comin'
from outta it's sides,
it's shields was fizzin'
man `what a ride',
I said "lookout Imp's
I gotta license to fly",
and that ImpStar pulled over
and let us by..

[Cue Dopplered `honking noises passing by' Sound]

Now all of a sudden
she started a-smokin'
I'd bet those StormTroopers
had started a-chokin'
checking the droid
the panel says `DISCOM'
they've tractor-beamed
my HotRod Incom...

They captured me
and they put me in jail,
then called my pappy
to tell him `I failed',
My pappy said "Wedge,
You're gonna drive me to drinkin',
If you don't stop flyin' that -
- Hot -
[chord]
- Rod -
[chord]
-Incom..."

[Chords, Cue Acoustical Bass-Guitar <Han's> Solo <finale>]
