Don't Drive Drunk

Stevie Wonder

song-cover

Don't Drive Drunk

He and his wife have had problems

That he's played off like nothing's wrong

'Til he comes home from work early

Just to find the girl is gone

Oh but he gets into the cupboard

Picks out that bottle of gin

Drinks like there's no tomorrow

And decides to take a spin

No don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk, no

Don't drive drunk

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad

Teenager at a live party

Says, ";give me one for the road";

But he's already so inebriated

If you lit a smoke he'd explode

But bartender says, ";I don't think so";

Young one says, ";I can deal";

Staggering out he says, ";check you all later";

But I really don't think he will

No don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk, no

Don't drive drunk

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad

(Repeat)(Background)

Don't drive drunk

d-d-d don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk

Hicup

(repeat)

Boy out with girl on their first date

Gets pulled over by the law

Officer says, ";hey can't you drive straight

Or have you been drinking alcohol?";

Boy says, ";man are you crazy?";

Cop says, ";hey then walk this line";

But results from the breathalizer

Proves he's charged with D.U.I.

No don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk, no

Don't drive drunk

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad

(Repeat)

(Background)

Don't drive drunk

d-d-d don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk

Hicup

(repeat)
