youtu.be/8Ts2U1mkfz4 - The Beatles - Drive My Car. Paul originally wrote the song, but was displeased with his first lyrics. He and John wrote all new lyrics together: The lyrics were disastrous and I knew it... This is one of the songs where John and I came nearest to having a dry session. The lyrics I brought in were something to do with golden rings, which is always fatal. Rings is fatal anyway, rings always rhymes with things and I knew it was a bad idea. I came in and I said, These arent good lyrics but its a good tune. The tune was nice, the tune was there, Id done the melody. Well, we tried, and John couldnt think of anything, and we tried and eventually it was, Oh lets leave it, lets get off this one. No, no. We can do it, we can do it. So we had a break, maybe had a cigarette or a cup of tea, then we came back to it, and somehow it became drive my car instead of gold-en rings, and then it was wonderful because this nice tongue-in-cheek idea came and suddenly there was a girl there, the heroine of the story, and the story developed and had a little sting in the tail like Norwegian Wood had, which was I actually havent got a car, but when I get one youll be a terrific chauffeur. ~ Paul ~ beatlesbible/songs/drive-my-car/
