Miscellaneous info:

Note: In the transcription of the chorus, the moving parallel thirds
on the 2nd and 3rd strings are the piano part, presented for
information and completeness. I don't mean to suggest that
both parts be played by one guitarist (certainly not when it
gets to the [35576-]).

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

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

Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
