“As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville
A Cadillac arollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five
She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side
Maybellene”

—  Chuck Berry

"Maybellene" (1955); this song was also credited by the record company to other "co-composers", in what has been generally accepted as a form of "payola".

With your brand new boy and your Cadillac

With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
You're gone for something
And I know you won't be back”

I saw the Empire State laid low
And life went on beyond the Palisades
They all bought Cadillacs
And left there long ago.”
