I was at a party last Friday night
I was so happy, everything was just right
Dancing the night away, having such fun
Just the same as everyone
There was this boy with a nice expression
He said "Can I make a suggestion?
I have my car parked right outside
How would you like to take a ride?
First you must push it to make it go
First you must push it to make it go"
Pushed and I pushed to walk his machine
I said "It'd be better if we were a team"
He said "But we are, what you're talking about?"
I said "It'd be easier if you got out"
But he said "Honey, someone must drive"
I understood, so I said "Why not I?"
He said "Maybe you have a licence
But I can see you're inexperienced"
So I had to push it to make it go
So I had to push it to make it go
If I had known what kind of boy you are
I'd have given you No for an answer
Instead all this talk out here all this while
I must have pushed this thing half a mile
So I started going back inside
He said "Honey, how about a ride?"
I replied, I laid it like it's true
I told him exactly what he could do:
"Why don't you push it to make it go?
Why don't you push it to make it go?"
