Sock Hop in the Parking Lot

by Safety Pin Saints

“Shoes two sizes too tall at the school dance, in a parking lot. We're still tripping over them.”

Lyrics

Bought some shoes for the high school dance
Two sizes way too tall
They squeak on the floor, they slip on the stairs
I am not good at all

So we took the party to the lot
Outside the grocery store
A boombox on the hood of a car
And we danced across the floor

Slide, slide, slide in the parking lot
Spin around, trip a lot
Dancing shoes, dancing shoes
We've got nothing left to lose
Slide, slide, slide in the parking lot
Spin around, trip a lot

A friend named Fran did a cartwheel
Right into a shopping cart
The cart rolled off with a happy sound
We all clapped for her art

Slide, slide, slide in the parking lot
Spin around, trip a lot
Dancing shoes, dancing shoes
We've got nothing left to lose
Slide, slide, slide in the parking lot
Spin around, trip a lot

One more song
One more song
Everybody sing along
One more song

Slide, slide, slide in the parking lot
Spin around, trip a lot
Dancing shoes, dancing shoes
We've got nothing left to lose
Slide, slide, slide in the parking lot
Spin around, trip a lot

Slide, slide, slide
Parking lot
