Every several years, you know/To the BMV we go,
To get ourselves a driver’s license
And you better not be late/no, you must not hesitate/then you can avoid a crisis
There are hours posted clear/so you can do your business here
/And I doubt they ever make exception
Gotta bring the stuff you need/they won’t listen to you plead
/You just might face a sound rejection!

So you’ll be
Caught without a license (it’s too late)/Caught without a license (no debate)
I don’t have a license (what a shame)/Couldn’t get my license (I’m to blame!)

So I knew the time drew near/then I got my stuff in gear/and got a ride down to the office
Had to wait there for a while/and I tried to keep a smile
/When I saw the clerk was not a novice
Made we wonder what’s in store/when I stood up on the floor
/And took my place at her position
But she made me wonder so/I was early don’t ya know/then she clued me in to my condition:

No doubt
I was early for my license (by a year)/early for my license (there’s no fear)
One year early for my license (won’t be late)/Early for my license (ain’t it great)
I’m early for my license/we don’t need you today

And there right before my eyes/just imagine my surprise
/When the clerk told me that I was early
Well I stood right there amazed/when I saw the year displayed
/I now began to feel a little squirrely!
She told me “look right here”/”you still have another year”/it’s way too soon for a renewal
So right then I shook my head/wanted to go home to bed
/This joke they played on me was just too cruel!

And I’ll be
Waitin’ for my birthday (come next year)/waitin’ for my birthday (have no fear)
Get my license on my birthday (‘twill be fine)/Renew it on my birthday (I’ll do it right on time!)

Waitin’ for my birthday
Waitin’ for my birthday
Waitin’ for my birthday
Waitin’ for my birthday
