The Lyrics
Parking time has come
Cash - I shall use none
Diplomats feed no meters
They just abuse their immunity
We can park like they do
Come on baby (don't feed the meter)
Baby take my hand (don't feed the meter)
We'll just stiff the city (don't feed the meter)
That's my parking plan
Parking free is fun
Here I pay no one
Diplomats from the U.N.
They just park here for eternity
Diplomats from the U.N.
40,000 ambassadors everyday (like diplomats from the U.N.)
40,000 ambassadors everyday (redefine free parking)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can park like they do)
Come on baby (don't feed the meter)
Baby take my hand (don't feed the meter)
We'll just stiff the city (don't feed the meter)
That's my parking plan
Parking space for one
Grab before it's gone
Came the late night meter-maid
She made it clear I couldn't stay on
Then my car door opened and my cash appeared
My money blew when the wind appeared
My money flew and then disappeared (and then I was afraid)
Come on baby (lend a dollar here)
But she ran from me (then I started to cry)
She looked backward and said goodbye (she used to park like I do)
I had no cash in hand (she used to park like I do)
Come back baby (help feed the meter!)
Cash - I shall use none
Diplomats feed no meters
They just abuse their immunity
We can park like they do
Come on baby (don't feed the meter)
Baby take my hand (don't feed the meter)
We'll just stiff the city (don't feed the meter)
That's my parking plan
Parking free is fun
Here I pay no one
Diplomats from the U.N.
They just park here for eternity
Diplomats from the U.N.
40,000 ambassadors everyday (like diplomats from the U.N.)
40,000 ambassadors everyday (redefine free parking)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can park like they do)
Come on baby (don't feed the meter)
Baby take my hand (don't feed the meter)
We'll just stiff the city (don't feed the meter)
That's my parking plan
Parking space for one
Grab before it's gone
Came the late night meter-maid
She made it clear I couldn't stay on
Then my car door opened and my cash appeared
My money blew when the wind appeared
My money flew and then disappeared (and then I was afraid)
Come on baby (lend a dollar here)
But she ran from me (then I started to cry)
She looked backward and said goodbye (she used to park like I do)
I had no cash in hand (she used to park like I do)
Come back baby (help feed the meter!)

Johnny, you seem very modest in your comments, but you keep getting better. This is another very original idea, done well. And I hate the original song
Rick, I value your feedback - thank you, very much, for helping me with your constructive commentary.
Great job again Johnny
Excellent! (And I love the original song). Advance to Free Parking. Take three 5's.
Likewise. I wanted to mention, one of my originals is about a guy who has to keep leaving a line at the post office to put coins in the meter before he gets a ticket. The whole idea came from my love of almost dirty titles. It's called "Beat the Meter".
I appreciate everyone's comments - thanks!
I was listening to this song earlier and I decided to look for parodies here - glad I did. Great job. Fives, mate.
Thanks, ABD- I must have missed this first time round. Nice one, JD
PS I obviously didn't miss it first time round, I just didn't comment: it didn't take my vote :-/
Thank you, ABD and PA !
