Drivin'    Written by Ray Davies

                                                      
Doo doo doo doo. Dididi doo doo doo doo
                                                       
Doo doo doo doo doo.  Did did doo doo
                                          
Dididi doo doo doo

                                        
  It seems like all the world is fighting
                                        
 They're even talking of a war (ooo ooo ooo)
                                         
Let all the Russians and the Chinese
                                         
And the Spanish do their fighting
                                        
The sun is shining
                                         
We're going drivin', drivin'

                                         
Drop all your work
                                         
Leave it behind
                                          
Forget all your problems
                                         
And get in my car
                                         
And take a drive with me
                                         

                                         
The sandwiches are packed
                                         
The tea is in the flask
                                        
We've plenty of beer
                                         
And gooseberry tarts
                                         
So take a drive with me
                                         
                                         
  We'll take your mother if you want to                                         
                                          
  We'll have a picnic on the grass  (ooo ooo ooo)

                                         
Forget your nephews and your cousins 
                                        
And your brothers and your sisters                                         
                                         
They'll never miss us                                         
                                            
'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin'. drivin'. drivin'
                                        
Thousands of trees
                                         
Hundreds of fields
                                         
Millions of birds
                                         
So why don't you come
                                                  
And take a drive with me

                                         
We'll talk to the cows
                                         
And laugh at the sheep
                                         
We'll lie in a field
                                                    
And we'll have a sleep
                                                  
So take a drive with me

                            
  And all the troubled world around us
                                         
  Seems an eternity away (ooo ooo ooo)
                                         
And all the debt collectors, rent collectors
                                         
All will be behind us
                                         
But they'll never find us
                                         
'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'

   (Solo-                )
                                                                
Drive with me...Drive with me...
                                         
             
Passed Barnet Church
                                         
  Up to Potters Bar
                                         
We won't be home late
                                         
It's not very far
                                           (Break)
So take a drive with me, take a drive with me
                                         
Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'   ....repeat into the sunset

Note: On the 'Drivin'.. parts, the bass does  nice walk.         
kind of thing. And remember, don't go too fast and don't drink while playing
this song.
