Need to get to the mall on Black Friday but you don't want to deal with the hassle of finding a place to park? Why not open your smartphone app and call for a LYFT?! Who knows, your driver just might end up being the great Luke Ski! Yes, Luke Ski has joined the ranks of everyone's favorite ride share service, and he's telling you all about what it's like in song!
GPS Robot Lady: Turn left on west Burbank Boulevard.
Verse 1:
We live in the future, that's perfectly clear,
But who knew all you needed to start a career
Was a car and a smartphone app and spare time?
Uh,... I'll explain in the following rhyme.
I was unemployed, my savings were thin.
When a friend messaged me with a solid win.
She said "Relax dude, you'll be just fine.
My ride share service is a real gold mine!"
A ride share service? Is that like a cab?
"No it's more like a ride to the mall from your Dad.
Here's my referral code, I'm sure it'll work."
Well I guess it beats working as a retail clerk.
The vehicle inspection said my car ran fine.
Soon I got approved, and then I went online.
And so it began, a new vocation for me,
Drivin' for L-Y-F-to-the-T!
Chorus 1:
I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft,
in the middle of a short two hour shift.
Got the pedal to the medal and the wheel to the steel
so that I can earn some money for my very next meal.
Follow the directions on my GPS,
That's all I gotta do to be a success.
Have a lollipop! You can call it a gift!
Yeah, I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft!
Verse 2:
Now that we're cruising at a moderate speed,
let me point out that my car has all that you need.
I got water bottles for quenchin' your thirst.
I got gum and mints, if your breath is the worst.
I got an umbrella if it rains where I park.
I got a flashlight if you're scared of the dark.
I got Windex, which I use with a squeegee.
I got a vacuum cleaner, like my homeboy Luigi!
I got tissues for a sudden 'ACHOO!'
I got hand sanitizer to clean up the goo.
I got a soft towel if you're bringin' your pup.
I got phone chargers. Tell your homie, 'Wassap?!'
I got in my trunk cleaning products galore.
I got vomit bags. Please don't throw up on the floor!
I got seat covers, put a stop to the mess.
But what I don't got is a boss! *heh heh* YES!!!
Chorus 2:
I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft,
in the middle of a short four hour shift.
Got the pedal to the medal and the wheel to the steel
so that I can earn some money for my very next meal.
Follow the directions on my GPS,
That's all I gotta do to be a success.
Some cool Febreeze is the odor you sniffed.
Yeah, I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft!
(Bridge: - 8 measures)
Luke: Hi, are you-
Boyfriend: Hey, thanks for picking us up Uber.
Luke: No sir, this is Lyft. Uh-
Boyfriend: Sorry about that, Uber.
Luke: Okay, so-
Girlfriend: WOOO!!! PAAARRTAAAAAAYYY!!!!
Luke: I, uh-
Girlfriend: You're so cute!
Luke: Well, well, thanks I-
Girlfriend: You look just like Chris Farley!
Luke: I's, ah, hmm.
Boyfriend: You're taking us to Buffalo Wild Wings, right?
Verse 3:
Look for my windshield Lyft sign glow in the night,
And you'll this pair of eyes by the dashboard light.
And I'll take you to a concert, or a bar, or a show,
Or wherever the robot lady tells me to go. (GPS Robot Lady: Head southwest)
If you want a conversation, sure, I'll have a chat,
Or just sit there with my music, hey, I'm okay with that.
I made a pop hit playlist from the last 40 years,
'Cuz the stuff I listen to would likely freak out your ears.
Need an airport ride? Hey, I got your back!
Feelin' hungry? Sure, I'll take you for a snack.
Droppin' girls off at a club, livin' life without a care,
Knowing none of them existed when "Full House" was on the air.
I really hope you'll give your driver a tip,
And give a 5-star rating to them after your trip.
So now that I've told you all all that I know,
I just gotta ask the question, "DO YOU EVEN LYFT BRO?!"
Chorus 3:
I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft
in the middle of a short six hour shift.
Got the pedal to the medal and the wheel to the steel
so that I can earn some money for my very next meal.
Follow the directions on my GPS,
That's all I gotta do to be a success.
Plug in my Aux Cord, jammin' Taylor Swift!
Yeah, I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft!
Chorus 4:
I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft
at the end of a long eight hour shift.
Got the pedal to the medal and the wheel to the steel
so that I can earn some money for my very next meal.
Follow the directions on my GPS,
That's all I gotta do to be a success.
Those Hollywood Hills feel like Tokyo Drift!
Yeah, I wrote this song while drivin' for Lyft!
