The singer took the driver’s seat for her trip around the block with James Corden.

There’s no “Carpool Karaoke” quite like a Barbra Streisand “Carpool Karaoke”—because for one thing, as Late Late Show viewers saw on Thursday night, when Babs carpools, she’s the one in the driver’s seat. Would you expect anything less?

That’s right—it was Streisand who picked Corden up this time. And although she was reluctant to listen to music on their journey at first, Streisand eventually relented. The two belted their way through “No More Tears,” “The Way We Were,” “Imagine/What a Wonderful World,” and her new Donald Trump-inspired tune, “Don’t Lie to Me.” Oh, and Corden also squeezed in a quick lesson in Cardi B—specifically, “Bodak Yellow.” The closing number? “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”

Streisand’s playful ribbing of Corden makes for a particularly fun entry into the ever-expanding library of “Carpool Karaoke.” In addition to her faux reluctance to listen to music, Streisand also critiqued his performance at one point, correcting him on a lyric in “The Way We Were.” And Corden responded in kind, teasing Streisand over that one time she called Tim Cook to ask him to correct how Siri pronounces her name. Streisand admitted that she also once called Steve Jobs when she couldn’t figure something out on her computer.

But perhaps the most amusing moment was when Streisand, still behind the wheel, admitted that she had failed the written test to renew her driver’s license three separate times. (“I was so nervous!”) Corden, newly aware of the risk he had taken getting in the car with his guest, quickly accepted his fate. “If this is how I go out,” he said, “I’ll take it. It’s a good way to go out.”
