Jump in My Car
Whimsical Journey of Love: Jump in My Car by Ted Mulry Gang
Lyrics
Jump in my car, I want to ta-ake you home
Invitation for the person to get into the car and be taken home
Mmm, jump in my car, it's too far to walk on your ow-own
Stating that walking home alone is too far
No thank you sir-ir
Refusal to accept the offer
Ah, see'mon, I'm a trustworthy guy
Claiming to be trustworthy to persuade
No thank you sir-ir
Repeated refusal to accept the offer
Oh little girl I wouldn't tell you no lie
Asserting honesty and sincerity
I know your ga-ame
Recognizing a familiar pattern or behavior
How can you say that, we only just met
Questioning the person's judgment due to their recent acquaintance
You're all the sa-ame
Insinuating predictability in behavior
Ooh, she's got me there, but I'll get her yet
Expressing determination to win over the person
I got you there-ere
Claiming victory in an argument
No you didn't, I was catchin' my breath
Denial of the claimed victory, attributing it to a different reason
And look it's startin' to rain and baby you'll catch your death
Noticing the rain and expressing concern for the person's well-being
Well, I don't know-ow
Expressing uncertainty
Ah, come on it costs nothin' to try
Encouraging acceptance of the offer as it costs nothing to try
And you'll arrive ho-ome nice and dry
Assuring a comfortable arrival home without getting wet
Mmm-mmm, jump in my car, I want to ta-ake you home
Repeating the invitation to go home in the car
See'mon jump in my car, it's too far to walk on your ow-own
Reiterating that walking alone is too far
Mmm-mmm, jump in my car, I want to ta-ake you home
Repeating the desire to take the person home in the car
See'mon jump in my car, it's too far to walk on your ow-own
Reiterating that walking alone is too far
Well maybe I wi-ill
Expressing a potential willingness to accept the offer
Ah, that's better now, your talkin' sense
Appreciation for the change in response
Jeepers keep still
Requesting the person to be quiet
Well, if you like I'll just put up a fence
Humorously suggesting putting up a fence to stop the conversation
No need to get smar-art
Reacting to a sarcastic comment
Well alright we'll soon be on our-our way-ay
Agreeing to proceed with the journey
We better start
Stating the need to start the journey due to the distance
What for?
Questioning the reason for starting the journey
Because it's such a long way-ay
Explaining the lengthy distance as the reason to start the journey
Well, why, where d'you live
Asking about the person's place of residence
I live down south, it's roughly eighty-four mi-iles
Providing the approximate distance to the speaker's place of residence
Hey slow down, you must be jokin' there behind that cute smile
Reacting to the distance stated, doubting its authenticity
Oh, no I'm no-ot
Denying the doubt, claiming honesty
Well, if you're not there's only one thing to say-ay
Stating that if the person doubts, the only option is to leave the car
And what's tha-at?
Asking for the person's response to the situation
Get out the car, get on your way
Responding to the doubt by suggesting the person to leave the car and find their own way
Get out of my car
Commanding the person to leave the car
But you just said tha-at you'd take me home
Responding to the person's earlier acceptance of the ride
Well, if it's not too far-are
Stating the condition of being willing to take the person home if it's not too far
But there's no way that I can get there alone
Expressing inability to get home alone
I couldn't care less
Disregard for the situation or the person's feelings
Maybe I cou-ould see you next week
Suggesting a possible meeting in the future
But you look a me-ess
Criticizing the person's appearance or state
Look who's talkin', you got no right to spea-e
Responding to the criticism about appearance
