Drivin’ Lyrics by The Kinks

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

1969

[Verse 1]
It seems like all the world is fighting
They're even talking of a war
Let all the Russians and the Chinese and the Spanish do their fighting
The sun is shining

[Chorus]
We're going drivin'
Drivin'

[Post-Chorus]
Drop all your work, leave it behind
Forget all your problems and get in my car
And take a drive with me
The sandwiches are packed, the tea is in the flask
We've plenty of beer and gooseberry tarts
So take a drive with me

[Verse 2]
We'll take your mother if you want to
We'll have a picnic on the grass
Forget your nephews and your cousins and your brothers and your sisters
They'll never miss us

[Chorus]
'Cause we'll be drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'

[Post-Chorus]
Thousands of trees, hundreds of fields
Millions of birds, so why don't you come
And take a drive with me?
We'll talk to the cows and laugh at the sheep
We'll lie in a field and we'll have a sleep
So take a drive with me

[Verse 3]
And all the troubled world around us
Seems an eternity away
And all the debt collectors, rent collectors all will be behind us
But they'll never find us

[Chorus]
'Cause we'll be drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'

[Post-Chorus]
Drive with me
Drive with me
Passed Barnet Church up to Potters Bar
We won't be home late, it's not very far
So take a drive with me
Take a drive with me

[Outro]
Drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'
