Lyrics
Test day morning, my knees go shake Cones on the tarmac, make no mistake Tiny little gap by the garden wall Can I fit my car in there at all Parallel park, squeeze it in Turn the wheel and let it spin Parallel park, squeeze it in Hey! Hey! Squeeze it in Look in the mirror, look behind Reverse real slow, never mind Inch by inch, hold it steady Horns are blowing, I am ready Parallel park, squeeze it in Turn the wheel and let it spin Parallel park, squeeze it in Hey! Hey! Squeeze it in Left, right, back Easy on track Straighten it out That's what it's about Perfect parking, the examiner grins Pass the test, the party begins Keys in my hand and a dance in my feet Learner plates off, oh isn't it sweet Parallel park, squeeze it in Turn the wheel and let it spin Parallel park, squeeze it in Hey! Hey! Squeeze it in Squeeze it in Squeeze it in
