...DRIVING IN MY CAR... by Madness
-----------------------...........
*from 'Utter Madness' (1986)*
Intro:
Verse 1:
I've been driving in my car,
It's not quite a Jaguar.
I bought it in Primrose Hill,
From a bloke from Brazil.
It was made in fifty-nine,
+
In a factory by the Tyne.
It says Morris on the door,
The G.P.O. owned it before.
I drive in it for my job,
The governor calls me a slob.
But I don't really care,
Give me some gas and the open air.
Interlude:
,
Verse 2:
It's a bit old but it's mine,
I mend it in my spare time.
Just last week I changed the oil,
The rocker valves and the coil.
Just last week I changed the oil.
Break:
(x2)
Middle 8:
Last week it went round the clock,
I also had a little knock;
I dented somebody's fender,
(n.)
He learnt not to park on a bender!
Interlude:
(x8)
Verse 3:
I've been driving in my car,
It don't look much but I've been far.
I drive up to Muswell Hill,
I've even been to Selsey bill.
I drove along the A-45,
+
I had her up to 58.
This copper stopped me the other day,
You're mistaken; what could I say?
The tyres were a little worn,
They were O.K, I could have sworn.
I like driving in my car,
I'm satisfied I've got this far.
Interlude:

Coda:
I like driving in my car,
It don't look much but I've been far.
I like driving in my car,
Even with a flat tyre.
I've been driving in my car,
It's not quite a Jaguar.
I like driving in my car,
I'm satisfied I've got this far.
