We're driving north on Highway 1 Toward Santa Barbara,lots of sun Pacific Ocean on our left hand side Tough Sata Barbara's on our mind,our love can't wait till after nine So she says,'Can't we let the monkey drive?'
Let the monkey drive,we can have our fun As we hop in back,out on Highway 1 Let him take the wheel,'neath the setting sun Let the monkey drive,out on Highway 1
He's passing cars and passing trucks And swigs some coffee from Starbucks And in the backseat everything is fine He never pries in our affairs He never listens,never stares And we three are enjoying our long ride
Let the monkey drive,we can have our fun As we hop in back,out on Highway 1 Let him take the wheel,'neath the setting sun Let the monkey drive,out on Highway 1
Let the monkey drive,and it's only fair It's the monkey's car and he hates to share Let him chauffeur us,while we have our fun Keep our love alive on Highway 1
With obscene gestures,learned from me He works off some hostility Toward drivers who might cut him off or slide I think his license has expired,he seems to be a little wired He has some trouble staying on our side
But you and me are doing fine We couldn't wait till after nine Impossible,our love is way too strong He hits the brakes a couple times,but everything is superfine I'm glad the monkey asked to come along
Let the monkey drive,and it's only fair It's the monkey's car and he hates to share Let him chauffeur us,while we have our fun Keep our love alive,out on Highway 1
Let the monkey drive,we can have our fun As we hop in back,out on Highway 1 Let him take the wheel,'neath the setting sun Let the monkey drive,out on Highway 1
Let the monkey drive,we can have our fun As we hop in back,out on Highway 1 Let him take the wheel,'neath the setting sun Let the monkey drive,out on Highway 1
