[Intro]
No-go showboat
No-go showboat (No-go showboat)

[Verse 1: Brian Wilson & Mike Love]
Well, I got a wild custom that wins every show
But it's a no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
Yeah, but everybody knows that she just don't go
She's my no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
White wall slicks with racing mags
She's just for looks, man, not for drags

[Refrain: Brian Wilson]
'Cause it's a no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
No-go, no-go

[Verse 2: Brian Wilson & Mike Love]
Well, the guys all dig it, they've got no complaints
About my no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
And the chicks really flip for that metal flake paint
On my no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
It really rates fine in the custom clan
With hand-formed panels, tuck-and-roll rear pan

[Refrain: Brian Wilson]
'Cause it's a no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
No-go, no-go
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Brian Wilson & Mike Love]
Well, the engine compartment's filled with all chrome goodies
In my no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
Yeah, but everybody takes me, even old Ford woodies
In my no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
When it comes to speed, man, I'm just out of luck
I'm even shut down by the ice cream truck

[Refrain: Brian Wilson]
'Cause it's a no-go showboat (No-go showboat)
No-go, no-go

[Outro]
No-go showboat (No-go showboat)
No-go showboat (No-go showboat)
