I am the Emperor of the Highway
I wield the Universal Will
One might chance to overlook my divineness
Unless I'm sitting in the imperial Poupe de Ville

I am the Emperor of the Highway
Strapped with foolish mortals such as these
I need never indicate my intentions
I can stop and go and turn just as I please
For I am the Emperor of the Highway

Hold! Methinks that thou hast driven too far!
I am the Royal Prince of Foreign Sports Cars
Better that I should drive a wheelchair or job
Than to be blown off by a regal road hog

I am the Emperor of the Highway
Where did you ever find that gas-sucking pig of a car?
This time, my friend, you are outclassed
Any real man would drive a stick shift
For my uncle is the Duke of the State Police
Cut me off again and I will punch your lights out
And he will place his royal boot upon your ass
This is my exit - we shall meet another day
Don't forget who's Emperor of the Highway
For I am the Emperor of the Highway!

- Todd Rundgren
