[G]I've been courting Bridie now for [C]nearly 15 [G]years,
When [D]she asked me to marry her I [C]broke down in [G]tears.
To prove how much I loved her and to [C]do the decent [G]thing,
We drove up to Dublin to [D]buy the auld wedding [G]ring.
First of all the toll bridge was[C] highway robbe[G]ry,
I'm[D] glad we brought the flask with us we[C] saved it on the [G]tea.
And when we reached the jewelers, I [C]parked outside the [G]door.
Then from out of nowhere I [D]hear this deafening[G] roar.
Hay, ye can't park here, ye can't park there.
That's [C]all I heard him [G]say,
I'm[D] going to have to clamp you and[C] you'll get towed a[G]way.
I was looking for a car park but [C]didn't have much [G]luck
He said that was a laim excuse and [D]he couldn't give a [G]f'''.
Heading down O'Connell Street in the middle of the day,
A Garda pulled me over and said it was one-way.
I pulled up on the footpath on the double yellow line.
He opened up his note book and asked me was I blind.
After eight hours shopping well it began to rain,
As I drove 'round by Stephen's Green I nearly hit a train.
Sure me heart was palpating and me nerves were shot to bits.
I stopped outside McDonolds to get a bag of chips.
Hay, ye can't park here, ye can't park there.
That's all I heard him say,
I'm going to have to clamp you and you'll get towed away.
I was looking for a car park but didn't have much luck
He said that was a lame excuse and he couldn't give a f'''.
Heading for Belmullet and the city far behind,
Bridie got the auld wedding ring and I got a parking fine,
When I told me story to the lads in O'Donnolds Bar.
They told be I should get a bike and sell that ,,car.
Hay, ye can't park here, ye can't park there.
That's all I heard him say,
I'm going to have to clamp you and you'll get towed away.
I was looking for a car park but didn't have much luck
