Lyrics
Empty car park, Sunday sun Dad says, "Son, we've just begun" Hands on the wheel at ten and two Show me what you're gonna do Gentle on the pedal now Easy does it, take a bow Every wobble, every swerve He just smiles, he's got the nerve Ten and two on Sunday Round the painted lines Learning how to steer With a gentle hand that guides Ten and two on Sunday Slowly does it, son Every little circle is a road that's just begun Cones are standing, nervous too Fallen over, one or two He just laughs and sets them right Says, "We'll get it by tonight" Ten and two on Sunday Round the painted lines Learning how to steer With a gentle hand that guides Ten and two on Sunday Slowly does it, son Every little circle is a road that's just begun Years from now I'll have this seat And someone small will tap their feet I'll say, "Take it slow, my dear" And remember he was here Ten and two on Sunday Round the painted lines Learning how to steer With a gentle hand that guides Ten and two on Sunday Slowly does it, son Every little circle is a road that's just begun Ten and two Ten and two on Sunday
