If her daddy's rich
Take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor
Just do what you feel

"Vehicle" by the Ides of March
Pervy in the extreme.
http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/the_ides_of_march/vehicle.html

Hey well
I'm a friendly stranger in a black sedan
Won't you hop inside my car.
I got pictures, got candy
I'm a loveable man
And I can take you to the nearest star.

... "have a drink have a drive, go out and see what you can find"?

A very non politically correct song from another time. It did what it set out to do and thats why it was a hit

"we're not gray people
we're not dirty we're not mean
we love everybody
but we do as we please"

While being about as far from the prog rock, electronica or 50's jazz I usually listen to as can be, I consider this a classic single.
