In the car in front
(ratta ratta tatata)
In the car in front a young girl is driving
She's driving alone and looks really pretty
I don't know her name and I don't know where she's going
I only know she's driving with feeling
In the car in front a young girl is driving
I'd really like to know what she is thinking
Is she listening to the same programme or is her radio broken?
Is she meeting someone or driving home?
What does the stupid man behind me want? (isn't she nice?)
I ask myself, why doesn't he overtake? (such soft hair)
He's been on my tail for at least half an hour
It's nearly dark and he hasn't turned his lights on (??
He could be 62.5 miles away by now (Oh I'm happy)
Man - overtake me already! (I feel really happy)
Does he want to control me, or perhaps kidnap me?
Or is he a plain clothes policeman?!
How lovely that today I've got a bit of free time.
I don't have to race away like a wild animal.
I'm lost in my thoughts, all alone and no constraints
I wish the lovely girl was by my side.
This thing is getting a bit frightening now (the music is nice!)
I'm definitely taking the next exit (it's a lovely day!)
So I can hide myself for a bit behind a hedge.
Dammit, I'm going to be late home.
Bye bye my lovely girl, safe journey.
She has her indicator on, she's turning off
For me, my journey will end in two hours
But you my lovely girl I'll never see again
