Paul Evans,上个世纪50~60年代的著名创作歌手,自小就在父母及姐妹的熏陶下对音乐(特别是弹奏吉他)结下不解之缘。他的许多作品都十分畅销,赢得众人不少口碑,比如《Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat》,《Midnight Special》,《Happy Go Lucky Me》等等。
1959年发布的这首单曲《Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat》,当时一推出就在UK Singles榜上居第3位,且在榜时间长达13周。在2003年发行的他的歌曲集《Happy Go Lucky Me: The Paul Evans Songbook》自然而然地也把这首他的名曲收录在内。

(Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom, DOOM)
Seven little girls sittin’ in the back seat
Huggin and a’kissin with Fred
I said “why don’t one of you come up and sit beside me?”
And this is what the seven girls said
CHORUS
(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep you mind on your drivin’)
(Keep you hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We’re havin’ fun sittin’ in the back seat kissin’ and a’huggin with Fred)
(Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom, DOOM)
Drove through the town, drove through the country
Showed ‘em how a motor could go
I said “how do you like my triple carburetor?”
And one of them whispered low
CHORUS
Seven little girls smoochin’ in the back seat
Every one in love with Fred
I said “you don’t need me, I’ll get off at my house”
And this is what the seven girls said
(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep you mind on your drivin’)
(Keep you hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We’re havin’ fun sittin’ in the back seat kissin’ and a’huggin with Fred)
All of them in love with Fred
(Dee doody doom doom)
Kissin’ and a’huggin with Fred
(Dee doody doom doom)
Wish that I could be like Fred
(DOOM)
