Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Compact car song lyrics )
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
YOU'VE GOT A COMPACT?
Copyright © 2005 - mickterry.com

1: You should know
it's one thing if you want to kill the ozone.
It's one thing if you are an OPEC whore.
But do you have to waste yet another parking space
by not leaving enough room to get out my door?

CHORUS:
What makes you think you've got a compact compact?
What makes you think you drive a tiny car?
Where the signs clearly designate for "COMPACT" only,
what makes you think you've got the right to park?

2: As a child,
you prob'ly couldn't keep your crayons in lines.
You prob'ly had not learned to draw too straight.
What is it you can't see when you park diag'nally,
like right now when spots are scarce & I'm running late.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
If it's a small RV or an SUV
or a pick-up truck, guess I'm out of luck.
Mid-size sedan or a mini-van:
they're all way too big to do a gig in a "compact" zone.

3: You should know
some people have been getting really keyed up.
Some people have been getting really pissed.
If you still cross the lines, then you shouldn't be surprised
if somebody leaves a note and you're reading this:
CHORUS:

CODA:
"Compact" by way of Mr. Webster *:
"an automobile smaller than an intermediate but larger than a subcompact";
"occupying a small volume by reason of efficient use of space".
Sorry. Your vehicle does not fit ... literally.  Please park it elsewhere.
& that includes your Taurus, Camry, Accord, etc.,
even if made in Japan ...
                    *   ( Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary )

THE OTHER WAY
PIMP MY WALKER
DRIVE THIS SLOW
SHE'S TURNING LEFT
THREE MILES LATER
BIKER IN MY MIRROR
WHEELS ON THE ROAD
SILLY SALLY CELLHOLE
BORED WITH HIS FERRARI
PEOPLE THINK I'M HORNY
MR. WHEELER IN YOUR SUV
OPEN SEASON ON THE FREEWAY
GASOLINE PRICES WERE PLUNGING
FIRST TIME OUT (IN HIS BRAND NEW PORSCHE)
To the TOP
