They get cheaters permits so they can You get a permit at 15, a cheaters permit at 14 And it's, I guess really necessary because You lose a lot of calling up a girl and asking her If you can peddle right over and pick her up,
They don't really go for any more And if you look on all the times you had the automobile Aside a few interesting saturday evenings You got to admit that one of the times of all Was a sunday afternoon, if you get the car You come down the stairs, ker-clunk ker-clunk ker-clunk mom, dad, take the car, ha haaa Beautiful day for a drive, I I'll go out Ha haaa ha huuu
