DRIVE MY CAR
(Lennon-McCartney)
1965
This was one of John and Paul's increasingly rare joint efforts. In an
amusing reversal of regular roles, the lyric tells the story of the possible
favours that might result if the man in the song becomes "her" chauffeur.
The chorus also features "Beep beep 'n' beep beep yeah" vocals that
have accompanied many a radio traffic braodcast ever since.
