| Song | The Car Song |
| Artist | The Cat Empire |
| Album | Two Shoes |
| The weekend is the weekend | |
| And it's sunny in the park | |
| I'll stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark | |
| I've 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 it's hard | |
| When there's a basketball game in the park | |
| It's 1998And everybody's saying:“ | |
| Harry, you're going to be a lawyer some day…” | |
| It's Monday bloody | |
| MondayAnd there's two things | |
| I forgotI forgot to do my homework | |
| And I've only got one sock | |
| I'm halfway through a test | |
| But I just can't concentrate | |
| I'm sitting next to | |
| FontaineI 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 | |
| BRIDGEBut 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 | |
| I'll sit back and relax | |
| And think of all the things | |
| I'm going to do… | |
| CHORUSSomeday… | |
| I'll buy an old car | |
| Someday…I'll get that car to start | |
| Someday…I'll learn how to drive too | |
| And then Someday… | |
| Imagine all the things | |
| I could do.(That was 1998 nowBring it forward to the present day nowCause some things have changedbut some things never change) | |
| The weekend is the weekend | |
| And it's sunny in the park | |
| I'll 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 – | |
| I'm a litigation lawyer – | |
| So I got it made | |
| I'm going out with | |
| FontaineRememer her from tenth grade? | |
| I drive a | |
| Porsche so | |
| I can't complain…” | |
| BRIDGEShit! | |
| And look at me can't 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 | |
| I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things | |
| I'm going to do… | |
