[Verse 1]
I've been holding Bridey now
For nearly fifteen years
When she asked me to marry her
Sure I broke down in tears
To prove how much I loved her
And to do the decent thing
We drove up to Dublin
To buy the wedding ring
First of all, the toll bridge
Was highway robbery
I'm glad we brought the flask with us
We saved it on the tea
And when we reached the j**ellers
I parked outside the door
Then from out of nowhere
I heard this deafening roar
[Chorus]
"Hey! You can't park here! You can't park there!"
That's all I heard him say
"I'm gonna have to clamp you
And you'll get towed away!"
I was looking for a car park
But I didn't have much luck
He said that was a lame excuse
And he couldn't give a...
[Verse 2]
Heading down O'Connell street
In the middle of the day
A Garda pulled me over
And said it was one-way
I pulled up on the footpath
On the double yellow line
He opened up his notebook
And asked me was I blind
After eight hours shopping
Well, it began to rain
As I drove round my Stevens Green
I nearly hit a train
Sure my heart was palpitating
And my nerves were shot to bits
We stopped at McDonalds
To get a bag of chips
[Chorus]
"Hey! You can't park here! You can't park there!"
That's all I heard him say
"I'm gonna have to clamp you
And you'll get towed away!"
I was looking for a car park
But I didn't have much luck
He said that was a lame excuse
And he couldn't give a...
[Verse 3]
Heading for Belmullet
And the city far behind
Bridey got the wedding ring
And I got a parking fine
When I told my story
To the lads in O'Donnell's bar
They told me I should get a bike
And sell that ****** car
[Chorus]
"Hey! You can't park here! You can't park there!"
That's all I heard him say
"I'm gonna have to clamp you
And you'll get towed away!"
I was looking for a car park
But I didn't have much luck
He said that was a lame excuse
And he couldn't give a...
[Chorus]
"Hey! You can't park here! You can't park there!"
That's all I heard him say
"I'm gonna have to clamp you
And you'll get towed away!"
I was looking for a car park
But I didn't have much luck
He said that was a lame excuse
And he couldn't give a...
"Hey! You can't park here! You can't park there!"
That's all I heard him say
"I'm gonna have to clamp you
And you'll get towed away!"
I was looking for a car park
But I didn't have much luck
He said that was a lame excuse
And he couldn't give a...
[Outro]
Then he wished me and Bridey
The very best of luck
