[Verse 1]
She got a keychain full of co-ops
Reusable cup in the dash
Tattoo of a mermaid reading
And a bumper half-peeled from a past
Oil stains on the driveway
Smell of garlic in the air
She flips me fries in her cast-iron pan
Like she doesn’t even care (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Be-bop
Do-wop
Olive oil girlfriend
Singing off-key to a power-pop track
Windows down
Hair loud
Laughing at the world
Then
We peel out slow in the Subaru Outback
Be-bop
Do-wop
Kissing at the crosswalk
Grease on her hands and my lips talk back
Queer little love song
Thrift-store soundtrack
Olive oil lesbian in a Subaru Outback
[Verse 2]
She reads zines in the glove box
Keeps a flannel on the seat
Got a playlist full of riot girls
And a snack stash under my feet
We stop at a diner off the highway
She steals my fries
Steals my hat
Draws hearts in the fog on the window
Then writes
“yeah
We’re gay
So what?” (hey!)
[Chorus]
Be-bop
Do-wop
Olive oil girlfriend
Singing off-key to a power-pop track
Windows down
Hair loud
Laughing at the world
Then
We peel out slow in the Subaru Outback
Be-bop
Do-wop
Kissing at the crosswalk
Grease on her hands and my lips talk back
Queer little love song
Thrift-store soundtrack
Olive oil lesbian in a Subaru Outback
[Bridge]
[backing vocals: “shooby-doo
Shooby-doo
Don’t look back”]
She spins that wheel with a crooked grin
Says
“pick a town
We’ll just drive right in”
Every mile marker’s another small sin
Another small win
For us
[Chorus]
Be-bop
Do-wop
Olive oil girlfriend
Singing off-key to a power-pop track
Windows down
Hair loud
Laughing at the world
Then
We peel out slow in the Subaru Outback
Be-bop
Do-wop
Parking at the edge lot
Stars overhead and the seats lay back
Queer little love song
Forever off-track
Olive oil lesbian in a Subaru Outback
