Drive My Car
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said "baby can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen
But you 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"
Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah

"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" br>
I told that girl I could start right away
And she said "listen baby I've got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start"

"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"
Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah
Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah
Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah 		Availability:

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:16
Click (Right Ear)
Not on mono
0:20 * NEW *
Harsh piano edit as piano comes in.
0:44 * NEW *
Guitar fret-squeak sound, right channel.
0:52
Strange 'peep' (right channel) as instrumental comes back in
Not on mono
1:20-1:22
Paul? sings "You can drive my car" under the last notes of guitar solo. Listen carefully, the last 3 notes of the solo are on top of words "Drive My Car"

Through the whole song you can faintly hear a solo guitar echoing the bass guitar. Steve Moss says "I think they might have done like in the Anthology 2 version of 'Goodbye, Hello,' wherein they had additional instruments that they yanked from the album version"

1:42-1:53 * NEW *
Centre, right after "start right away" and each subsequent vocal line there are a number of stray guitar notes, as if the guitarist is idling, unaware they are being heard!
1:46
Paul fluffs the bass riff and plays a "safe" note instead
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
