by John Lennon & Paul McCartney
recorded 13 October 1965
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can’t you see?
I wanna be famous, a star on 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”
I told that girl I could start right away
And she said “listen babe I 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 yeh
