    I Wanna Be (2000km)

    When I wake up
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the girl that spends Thursday driving up to 'Berra.

    And when I get there
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the girl who goes to her brother's girlfriend's 21st.

    When I come home (when I come home!)
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the girl whose dogs are over excitable.

    And when I go to bed
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be sleeping in one that is considerably smaller than my own.

    And I would drive 2000km
    And I would drive 2000 more
    Just to be the girl who drive 2000km
    To see family and friends at Easter.

    On the Friday
    Well I know I'm gonna drink
    I'm gonna drink way to much tea at Lan's.

    And when I drink tea
    Well I know I'm gonna wee
    I'm gonna wee almost every 15mins.

    Then when I have a bath
    Well I know I'm gonna read
    I'm gonna read my book until a murder bloody well eventually happens.

    And in the afternoon
    Well I know I'm gonna see
    I'm gonna see Kim, Mikey and baby Fitzie...
    I'm gonna see Kim, Mikey and baby Fitzie...

    And I would drive 2000km
    And I would drive 2000 more
    Just to be the girl who drive 2000km
    To see family and friends at Easter.

    La di da da (la di da da)
    La di da da (la di da da)
    Un-diddle-un-diddle-un-diddle-la-da-da
    La di da da (la di da da)
    La di da da (la di da da)
    Un-diddle-un-diddle-un-diddle-la-da-da

    On Friday evening
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the girl who makes her mother-in-law drink lots of champagne.

    Then on Saturday
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be drinking lots more tea at Natnou's.

    And then at lunch time (then at lunch time!)
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be back in that car driving to Sydney.

    And when we get there
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be drinking at the bar at the hotel.

    And at 8pm
    Well I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the girl who goes to Heldi's party! yay!

    And I would drive 2000km
    And I would drive 2000 more
    Just to be the girl who drive 2000km
    To see family and friends at Easter.

    La di da etc...



    I don't know how the Proclaimers maintained this song. Yeesh. I'm getting bored...

    Suffice to say that we drove around 2000km over the weekend going up to Canberra, then to Sydeny, back to Canberra and then home to Melbs.

    "I Wanna Be" the girl who doesn't have to do that again soon.

    • That was beautiful.
      You'll just have to fly up next time.
      And just remember it's not the destination that's important, it's the journey.
