Old song

I've been researching this song for a while, from the family of that lady who used to sing it at all the festive meals and who unfortunately passed away without anyone knowing the lyrics or the tune. The title is indeed "The Car Driver", it must date from post-war times, but I don't know the author. I've read some lyrics, but not all of them. The text ends well before the end of the song. Would it be possible for you to send it to me in full? Thank you in advance. Best regards. Good night.

Hello Patanana and everyone.
I'm also looking for the lyrics and text of this song,
that my sister used to sing at the top of her lungs in the 1940s/45
it should be possible to find the text by gathering our responses.
Everyone remembers some lyrics....I myself have the tune in my ear..and certainly some of you do too.
What interests me in Patanana's response is if she could inform us
and tell us the age of her grandmother and mother at that time.
That might help us find the performer.
There you go, I believe I've said everything.
While waiting for a response, I will continue to search.
Thank you all and to the Forum/Music/Radio see you soon

wearing on his head
the little trickster
the pretty cap
of his driver dad

There are indeed some sentences to change.

I sing this song that my mom taught me - and I am 82 years old - it is a song from the 1920s/30s. Many of the lines are not the ones indicated - I can send it to you by mail or sing it to you, but how, I’m just starting with the computer and... I’m trying
1 - A very handsome driver was tasked with taking the daughter of his rich boss to town. This young heiress, if I could take her heart, that would be quite the deal
thought the clever driver, ah, ah, ah, the little one surely loves to laugh over there on the road
I’m going to kiss her at the risk of everything falling apart, I have to kiss her
or everything will blow up. 2 - Driving with skill, he goes slowly at first, then picks up speed like a hurricane, crossing towns and villages, grazing the poles, crushing a cow and her calf in his path. Ah, ah, ah, the little girl exclaims, filled with fear
Don’t go so fast, Mr. Driver, but he, full of boldness, responds without hesitation
You have to kiss me or everything will blow up. 3 - On a slightly steep slope, the car
is going to somber. The young girl, a bit shy, starts to give in, kiss me, she tells him
as you wish, pass me the crank so I can slow down. Ah, ah, ah, the car stops at the edge of a small wood, the young girl repeats with her sweet voice hurry up and start again, fix the leak, the tire is flat. 4 - They took a very long drive
that they couldn’t get back to town until the next day. The dad was furious and in his rage ordered the marriage of his daughter and the driver. Ah, ah, ah, from this adventure that has been talked about everywhere, it is said that a baby was born wearing on his head, according to the joker, a nice little cap like the driver’s. Mimi

lots of things to change a lot

I clarify that I am not a professional musician, but a simple amateur who enjoys composing, and that I had to try to find chords and a rhythm that could correspond to that era, which could be the early twentieth century, before 1910, considering that a "crank" was needed to steer the car, perhaps before steering wheels made their appearance.

I’m looking too! Thanks everyone for the lyrics! I would like to find the author and the original version. ...

Thanks to bugduche. The second link leads to a really nice sung version. Well done!

Someone else posted a YouTube video with a recording of their grandfather singing this song. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-P1pSrKqgs&feature=youtu.be

I just played your music for my mother (90 years old) who listened to this song a lot when she was young. She immediately recognized the melody and began to sing the song that her grandmother used to sing at family meals. Thank you very much for allowing her to reminisce about joyful moments.

I believe that Daniel Cabuzel is the author of the video mentioning this song, the link to which I provide here:

What year does it go back to?

My mother, who was born in 1929, sang it to us regularly. Unfortunately, we never knew who the performer of this funny song was. If someone could inform me, I would be very happy; it could help me place certain stories. Thank you.

My father sang it all the time, but I don’t know the title, and he was born in 1924. I don’t have the lyrics, but I have a video cassette. I will listen to it and write down the lyrics.
