Driving Down a One Way Street
I’m in a hurry; I’ve just got to get there.
My girlfriend says: “Babe, you’d better beware!”
“The cops are out there, they’re waiting for you!”
“So don’t get picked up by the men in blue.”
CHORUS:
Turning down a one way street.
I never thought the cops I’d meet.
Turning down a one way street.
And now I’m in trouble. Weep, weep, weep, weep. Waah!
I took a chance and I turned to the right.
Went past a stop sign and through a red light.
I heard the siren; I looked in the mirror,
My girlfriend said: “Yes, they’ve spotted you, dear.”
CHORUS:
Turning down a one way street.
Now I’m in the cop’s back seat.
Turning down a one way street.
And now I’m in trouble. (Gruff spoken voice): Your car is be-ing towed!
(In cadence with the musical refrain.)
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK. Repeat Chorus.
They hooked my car, now it’s gone to the pound.
The judge said: “Guilty!" on all charges he found.
So now, I’m walking, my girlfriend’s so mad.
I can’t pay the fines ‘cause my credit’s so bad.
CHORUS:
Turning down a one way street.
I never thought the cops I’d meet.
Turning down a one way street.
My insurance has doubl-ed. Weep, weep, weep, weep, Waah!
(Repeat tag line and fade out…)
Sung to the tune: DRIVE MY CAR.
