Stop Draggin' My Car Around

(album: "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1983)

Had to park my car for just five minutes
I had to go inside to use the phone
When I came back again my car was gone
Well, I didn't know it was a loading zone
What a bummer, I was so brought down
I had to chase that tow truck all over town, yelling

"Stop dragging my
Stop dragging my
Stop dragging my car around"

Took my baby to the local disco, I was jumping like a maniac
But then the owner came and pulled me off the floor
Then he, he took me to his little office in the back
He said, "I really like your snaggletooth necklace
Your pants are groovy, and your hair's okay
But, man, that car of yours is so uncool
Like wow, I'm sorry, but we towed it away!"

Stop dragging my
Stop dragging my
Stop dragging my car around

Now I'm in home, I'm watching Gilligan's Island
Guess it's time to trade my old car in
For twenty dollars and my '64 Plymouth
Maybe I could get a second-hand Schwinn
Look out the window, there's tow truck in the driveway
I grabbed the driver and I asked him why
He said, "I'm sorry kid, you're late with the payments
It's time to kiss your little car goodbye"

Stop dragging my
Stop dragging my
Stop dragging my car around
Stop dragging my car around

Listen, the check's in the mail, no, really
Stop dragging my car around
Oh man, I just got the hub caps painted
Stop dragging my car around
Hey! Hey! I left a sandwich in the backseat
Stop dragging my car around
Oh
