Speed limit, speed limit
Who obeys the speed limit?
Speed limit, speed limit
Who obeys the speed limit?
The speed limit sign says 40 miles an hour
Cars go roaring by, testing their power
They don't seem to notice what the sign says
They just speed, speed, speed on straight ahead
Speed limit, speed limit
Who obeys the speed limit?
They go so fast, they can't see where they're going
They go so fast, their carelessness starts showing
Then before they know it, they're being followed by a cop
He signals to them to pull off the road and stop
Speed limit, speed limit
Who obeys the speed limit?
They don't seem to realize what the speed limit's for
They don't seem to realize they must obey the law
Perhaps someday soon they'll come to their senses
Perhaps someday soon they'll stop climbing fences
Until this happens, there'll be a lot more people getting hurt
Until this happens, all drivers must be alert
Speed limit, speed limit
Who obeys the speed limit?
Speed limit, speed limit
We must obey the speed limit
