The Cat Empire - The Car Song

The weekend is the weekend And its sunny in the park Ill stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark Ive got a lot of homework But homework he 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 its hard When theres a basketball game in the park Its 1998 And everybodys saying: Harry, youre going to be a lawyer some day Its Monday bloody Monday And theres two things I forgot I forgot to do my homework And Ive only got one sock Im halfway through a test But I just cant concentrate Im sitting next to Fontaine I want to ask her on a date I really want to 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 I have to get this grade Or I might fail to be a lawyer someday BRIDGE But just right now Can think of anything better to do Than just sit down at the piano and a write this tune And maybe later Maybe later in the afternoon Ill sit back and relax And think of all the things Im going to do CHORUS Someday Ill buy an old car Someday Ill get that car to start Someday Ill 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) The weekend is the weekend And its sunny in the park Ill 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 Im a litigation lawyer So I got it made Im going out with Fontaine Rememer her from tenth grade? I drive a Porsche so I cant complain BRIDGE Shit! And look at me cant think of anything better to do That just sit down at the piano and write this tune And maybe later Maybe later in the afternoon Ill sit back and relax and think of all the things Im going to do CHORUS
