Asked a girl what she wanted to be,
She said, “Baby can’t you see?
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen,
But you can do something in between.”
“Baby, you can drive my car,
Yes I’m gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car,
And maybe I’ll love you.”
I told that girl that my prospects were good,
And she said, “Baby it’s understood.
Working for peanuts is all very fine,
But I can show you a better time.”
“Baby, you can drive my car,
Yes I’m gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car,
And maybe I’ll love you.”
Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah!
“Baby, you can drive my car,
Yes I’m gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car,
And maybe I’ll love you.”
I told that girl I could start right away,
She said, “Listen, babe, I’ve got something to say.
I got no car and it’s breaking my heart,
But I’ve found a driver, and that’s a start.”
“Baby, you can drive my car,
Yes I’m gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car,
And maybe I’ll love you.”
Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah!
