The Lyrics
Billy Joel seems to be a little accident -prone. I don't really know why, but I can speculate......
Always changin' lanes in traffic
Press the pedal to the floor
Don't look both ways, I'm too distracted
Always thinking notes in score
Behind the whe-el, I'm always trouble
After I have left the bar—(hic)-mmmm
I'm so surprised, I'm still alive
I guess I'm just bad with a car
Don't go riding, while I'm driving
You just might wind up in a tree -ooh-wee-ow
You could be leaving, but not arriving
When you go on the road with me
I don't want to employ a chauffeur
I don't think I'm that big a star
I just want travel without a mishap
I guess I'm just bad with a car
I need to get sometimes from A to B
Without a wall in which to slam
I guess there's some things that I just don't see
I wish I'd passed that eye exam
I say I'm driving to my appointment
Although I might not get too far
In my glove box I keep some ointment
I guess I'm just bad with a car
Press the pedal to the floor
Don't look both ways, I'm too distracted
Always thinking notes in score
Behind the whe-el, I'm always trouble
After I have left the bar—(hic)-mmmm
I'm so surprised, I'm still alive
I guess I'm just bad with a car
Don't go riding, while I'm driving
You just might wind up in a tree -ooh-wee-ow
You could be leaving, but not arriving
When you go on the road with me
I don't want to employ a chauffeur
I don't think I'm that big a star
I just want travel without a mishap
I guess I'm just bad with a car
I need to get sometimes from A to B
Without a wall in which to slam
I guess there's some things that I just don't see
I wish I'd passed that eye exam
I say I'm driving to my appointment
Although I might not get too far
In my glove box I keep some ointment
I guess I'm just bad with a car

Billy Billy Bang Bang.
I especially love the hiccup! Nice work, Rick...5s!
Rick, great parody (555) but what really happened was that first he crashed his chevy then his cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac
This is really a cute and clever one. I'll share it with friends!
Two car parodies, both to Billy Joel. You and Spaff really are on the same page today.
Very good! I liked the hiccup too!
great job, rick...5s....billy joel doesn't realy have to worry..only the good die young
Great job! Id love to see someone do "Bad Driver Man" to "Piano Man"
Billy was just asking for this, wasn't he? Maybe it's a Long Island thing. Harry Chapin had a number of accidents before the one that finally did him in.
Three 5's,why? Because I'm sure that this is just the tip of the iceberg of puns surrounding this topic!
Well, yesterdays crash was just the last in a string of hits.........
Just caught this one, RAD. Ointment - heh heh. You know what they say - it's always dangerous to get a BJ behind the wheel.
