F
Everytime I have a date there's only one place to go
               Dm
That's to the drive in
F
It's such a groovy place to talk and
maybe watch a show
               C
Down a t the drive in
   A#
Forget about the plot, it'll do very well
                   F                     D
But make sure you see enough so you're prepared
to tell

Chorus:
            A#   C
About the drive in
C            F
I love the drive in
F
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)

If the windows get fogged you'll
have to take a breath
(Ooo waah ooo)
Down at the drive-in
(Wah wah ooo)
Or the cat dressed in white will
scare you both to death
Down at the drive-in
A big buttered popcorn and an extra large coke
A few chili dogs and man I'm going broke

Chorus:
Down at the drive-in
(Ooo wah)
Yeah, at the drive-in
(We love the drive-in, we love the drive-in)

Don't sneak your buddies in the trunk
because they might get caught
By the drive-in
(Wah wah wah ooo)
And they'd look kind of stupid getting
chased through the lot
(Wah ooo)
Around the drive-in

If you say you watch the movie you're
a couple of liars
And "Remember, only you can prevent forest fires"
Down at the drive-in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive-in
(We love the drive-in, we love the drive-in)
Down at the drive-in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive-in
(We love the drive-in, we love the drive-in)
Down at the drive-in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive-in
(We love the drive-in, we love the drive-in)
