Thread Name: Lyr Req: Double-yellow line
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Double-yellow line
I guess it must have been written in the early 1970s. I heard it about 20 years ago and it's the kind of song that would be sung at sessions, so I'm surprised that it doesn't turn up somewhere on the web. Some other verses went something like this:
You can away with rape Or your business can escape With a heap of ... taxes, never paid You can mug me, steal me dough ..... With impunity, and never be afraid
Your crime will be found out Law and order's up the spout Be careful, you might get a hefty fine .... .... By parking on a double-yellow line.
