DRIVE MY CAR

The song about a woman that says she's going to be a famous movie star, and she offers the narrator the opportunity to become her driver, adding "and maybe I'll love you." When he objects that his "prospects are good", she retorts that "working for peanuts is all very fine/but I can show you a better time." When he agrees to her proposal, she admits that she doesn't have a car, "but I've found a driver and that's a start."

The short story is about a winner who goes on a date with a famous tango singer.

La canción cuenta a una mujer que va a ser una famosa estrella de cine, y ella le ofrece la oportunidad de ser su chófer al narrador de la historia, añadiendo "y tal vez yo te querré". Cuando ve que sus "perspectivas son buenas", ella responde que "trabajar por migajas está muy bien / pero yo puedo darte algo mejor." Cuando él acepta su propuesta, ella admite que no tiene un coche, "pero tengo un conductor y es un comienzo."



El cuento cuenta la historia de un ganador que sale en una cita con una famosa cantante de tango.


LA LETRA /THE LYRICS

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 a 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'm 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 the girl I could start right away
And she said listen to me 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'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
