about

A country blues tune about parking in Philadelphia.

lyrics

The other day I went out drivin'
In that hatchback wagoneer,
And as I parked by your apartment
Your nosy neighbor stopped to stare

I did the reverse light,
The head check, and the
Clutch-coast, but the curb was just too close

Rolled up the windows tilted sideways
With two wheels up on the curb, that's when your
Neighbor started cursing, and it
Seemed so well rehearsed, she did the

Shake down,
And the break down,
And the take down,
She said 'Get off my curb and get lost'

CHORUS
Well if you treat me like a dog I'll leave a
Present on your lawn, and I'll move on

La da dee da dumb, la da dee da dumb,
A lotta' people can be, La da dee da dumb

How 'bout last week I had a big job,
Out across the Delaware,
It was me and Fraatz and Garvey,
Throwing couches down the stairs

We did the back stack,
And the flat pack,
With a bad back,
We got twenty bucks a man,

Locked up the truck and took a walk down
To the city sandwich shop, but just then
Up drove Mr. No-Fun, looking down his nose at us

He did the shake down,
And the breakdown,
And the take down,
He said 'Get this truck off of my lot'

CHORUS

BRIDGE
If you spent more of your time being nice or polite,
Like a 'Hello', 'Thank You', 'Yes Please', and 'Alright',
If you treat me right I might be more inclined,
If you force my hand then I'm the stubborn kind

CHORUS
