Lyrics
My Girl-friend got a parking ticket
Down on Main Street the other day
Along came a big red tow truck
And took my girlfriend's car away
Then they took my girlfriend to the courthouse
And said everything will be so fine
If you will just pay the City $50
And folks, that $50 was mine
My girlfriend got a parking ticket
I had to pay the fine
Now I have no money for Beer
It's just enough to make me cry
I've got the parking meter blues
I've got the parking meter blues
That meter would have cost just a nickel
And now I have no girlfriend to tickle
Cause Folks, I ain't going to give up my Beer!
So they took my girlfriend off to Jail
So I could still enjoy my Ale
And there's a lesson to be learned from this tale...
Don't mess with a guy's Beer!
