Have a drink, have a drive.

We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

Do a ton or a ton and twenty-five

We're no threat, people
We're not dirty, we're not mean.

Remind me to wear a seat belt when I drive through his home town.

How is the weather high? Is it ever low? It would work if the last word was hot which is probably how most people heard it.

In this day and age of anti drink-drive campaigns it's almost beyond comprehension that absolute insanity like the above lines was being used in a song at one time.Even if have a drink-have a drive as used here was intended to mean two separate,unrelated activities,it was still an extremely stupid line to slip into a song when goodness knows what impressionable numbskulls could be listening.Notice also that said numbskulls were further advised by this extremely stupid song to SPEED ALONG THE LANE?Also that the raving lunatics in this song as painted by the writer and singer of it say that they're no threat?Other extremely irksome prattling is a sex mad line like-When the weather's fine you got women on your mind-Yeah,like,oh brother,what a totally sad bunch of apes is under scrutiny here exactly?Here's another of their choice phrases-We're not dirty.We just do as we please-Yeah,like getting drunk,speeding along lanes-Not recommended even when sober actually-and lusting after women like a bunch of headcases just because the sun is out-Like,next stop the madhouse for these people.Listen to this for total crap-If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal.If her daddy's poor just do what you feel-Like,WHAT?Do what you feel as in what exactly?Are you being told that if it turns out your new girlfriend comes not from wealthy stock just forget about girlfriends and do something else?I mean what's WITH crap like if her daddy's poor just do what you feel?Here's further sex mad prattling-Said bunch of assholes advocate stopping off at laybys-to get layed-[Was this after the drink and/or speeding along that lane I wonder?]They also recommend stretching right up to touch the sky-How that will be managed is another thing entirely-They are all for fishing or swimming in the sea-I'll bet a million dollars there's fish out there with more smarts than this set of popsicles.Check out their philosophy-Life's for living-Keep speeding along the lanes boys and pretty soon there will be no more life at all.This number has to be one of the stupidest things ever.Actually I'd go so far as to say that if ever a song has dated very badly it must be this one.It lay at number 1 for weeks back in 1970.It sold tens of millions of copies-400,000 copies sold in France alone inside a month,and it won all sorts of awards.Nowadays even attempting to write and sing lyrics like this would make people seriously wonder if you were literally crazy.Like,what's the deal?Was EVERYBODY a bit dense back in 1970?

...so if a girl comes from a poor family, it's mutually acceptable that the man 'dating' her should just have his way as he wishes? I think not.

I think the line speaks for itself

Sometimes I think songs can be just a little too literal.
