"Drive My Car" is a song written by Paul McCartney,
with lyrical contributions by John Lennon and first released by The Beatles
on the UK version of the 1965 album Rubber Soul; it also appeared in the US on the Yesterday
and Today collection. The upbeat, lighthearted song was used as the opening track for both albums.
The song's male narrator is told by a woman that she's going to be a famous movie star, and
she offers him the opportunity to be her chauffeur, adding,
"and maybe I'll love you." When he objects that his "prospects are good,"
she retorts that "working for peanuts is all very fine,
but I can show you a better time."
When he agrees to her proposal, she admits that she doesn't have a car,
"but [she's] found a driver and that's a start."
