The Car Song

The we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-weekend is the weekend

And it's sunny in the park

I'll stay here with my beer and fish 'n' chips till it gets dark

I've got a lotta homework, but homework, it can wait

I never start my homework till its already too late

My parents say think about your future and my teachers say the same

But it's hard when there's a basketball game at the park

It's 1998, and everybody's sayin' ("Harry, you're gonna be a lawyer some day…")

It's Monday bloody Monday, and there's two things I forgot

I forgot to do my homework, and I only got one sock

I'm halfway through a test, but I just can't concentrate

While sitting next to Fontaine, I wanna ask her on a date

I really wanna start a conversation, but each time she walks past

I start choking on my pencil, and fall flat on my ass

I need to concentrate, if I don't get this grade

Then I might fail to be a lawyer someday

But just right now, can't think of anything better to do

Than just sit down at the piano and to write this tune

And maybe later, maybe later in the afternoon

I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things I'm gonna do

Someday…

I'll buy an old car

Someday…

I'll get that car to start

Someday…

I'll learn how to drive too

And then someday…

Imagine all the things I could do

That was 1998 now

Bring it forward to the present day now

'Cause some things have changed

But some things never change, check it out (Some things never change, check it out)

The weekend is the weekend, and it's sunny in the park

I'll stay here with my beer and fish 'n' chips till it gets dark

I just saw Peter Parsons who used to be in my class

I always gave him wedgies 'cause I thought he worked too hard

He said, "Harry, life is great, I feel so happy these days

I'm a litigation lawyer, so I got it made

I'm going out with Fontaine, remember her from 10th grade?

I drive a Porsche, so I can't complain…"

Shit! And look at me can't think of anything better to do

Than just sit down at the piano and to write this tune

And maybe later, maybe later in the afternoon

I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things I'm gonna do

Someday…

I'll buy an old car

Someday…

I'll get that car to start

Someday…

I'll learn how to drive too

And then someday…

Imagine all the things I could do

Mmm, and look at me can't think of anything better to do

Than just sit down at the piano and to write this tune

And maybe later, maybe later in the afternoon

I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things I'm gonna do

Someday…

I'll buy an old car

Someday…

I'll get that car to start

Someday…

I'll learn how to drive too

And then someday…

Imagine all the things I could do
