We're driving north on Highway 1 
Toward Santa Barbara, lots of sun 
Pacific Ocean on our left hand side 
Tough Sata Barbara's on our mind, our love can't wait till after nine 
So she says, 'Can't we let the monkey drive?' 
 
Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun 
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1 
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun 
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1 
 
He's passing cars and passing trucks 
And swigs some coffee from Starbucks 
And in the backseat everything is fine 
He never pries in our affairs 
He never listens, never stares 
And we three are enjoying our long ride 
 
Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun 
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1 
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun 
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1 
 
Let the monkey drive, and it's only fair 
It's the monkey's car and he hates to share 
Let him chauffeur us, while we have our fun 
Keep our love alive on Highway 1 
 
With obscene gestures, learned from me 
He works off some hostility 
Toward drivers who might cut him off or slide 
I think his license has expired, he seems to be a little wired 
He has some trouble staying on our side 
 
But you and me are doing fine 
We couldn't wait till after nine 
Impossible, our love is way too strong 
He hits the brakes a couple times, but everything is superfine 
I'm glad the monkey asked to come along 
 
Let the monkey drive, and it's only fair 
It's the monkey's car and he hates to share 
Let him chauffeur us, while we have our fun 
Keep our love alive, out on Highway 1 
 
Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun 
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1 
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun 
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1 
 
Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun 
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1 
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun 
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1 
 
Let the monkey drive, and it's only fair 
It's the monkey's car and he hates to share 
Let him chauffeur us, while we have our fun 
Keep our love alive, out on Highway 1
