Dreamgirls Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
Cadillac Car
Big, as in large, as in huge, as in mine is better than yours
Now once upon a time
The Cadillac car represented the highest classes in America
The pure unstained wasp
They never worried about the costs, no
Then the Cadillac car was bought by the rising Jews to show things were just as
good and part of scheme
Now we got the Cadillac taken over by our Negro brother
To prove he too belongs in the American Dream
Look, I'm trying to tell you
(You better hurry up baby)
I'm trying to tell you first
If the big white man can make us think we need this Cadillac to make us feel as
good as him
We can make him thinking needs of music to make him feel as good as us
We'll make him feel as good as us
But it's not as easy as it may sound
You got to get a smoother sound
(You got to get a smooth, got to get a smoother sound)
This man he's got obvious style
You can tell by his music and his dazzling smile
Now I like Sinatra, Jazz and the blues
And I like gospel and blue sway shoes
And I like modern sound that catch you real
There are so many sounds we love to hear
There are so many sounds we love to hear
There are so many sounds we love to hear
There are so many sounds we love to hear
We'll blend them all in
We'll blend it all in
The more you put in
The more you can win
The more we can win
Record, Cadillac Car, J. Thunder Early and the Dreamettes
Oh got me a Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
I got Me a Cadillac car
Oo, Oo
Got me a Cadillac
Cadillac Cadillac
Oh, look at me mister, I'm a star
Our record's No. 58
Moving, moving, moving right to the top
Our record's No. 47
Moving, moving, moving right to the top
We're No. 32
Moving, moving, moving right to the top
We're No. 27
Moving, moving, moving right to the top
Got me a Cadillac, Cadillac, Cadillac
Got me a Cadillac car
Oh I've got me a Cadillac, Cadillac, Cadillac
Look at me mister, I'm a star
Look at me mister, I'm a star
Look at me mister, I'm a star
