E
I went to my friends
B
A
Cos I found a fine beat
E
Oh I like to play a rhythm
B
A
Where the rhythm plays me
E
Play it all day
B
A
On a balcony above the street
E
Where old Franky and me
B
A
We shuffle with our feet
F#
And old man Georgie
F#
Takes some sugar with his tea
A
when he's stirred by a melody
B
Of hands moving easy
E
See it reminds him
B
Of dreams by the sea
E
Where the breeze blows
B
Underneath that island tree
E
So we played til the playing
B
Gave us the munchies
E
Then we played in the kitchen
B
Made the easy gods happy
E
B
Cos we left them a little chilli-special
E
B
Oh and some chocolate we eat because it's sweet
F#
When I leave I am smiling
F#
At the things I haven't done
A
Oh I haven't broke a sweat
B
And I haven't had to run
E
For the list of one-thousand
B
-and-one that does plague me
E
On some days
B
A
When the sun rays don't come
E
B
A
Singing parking inspector
E
Just made my list of one thousand
B
A
One thousand and one
E
B
A
But ah Parking Inspector
E
B
A
Won't let you wreck my fun
E
When I get to my car
B
A
I am faced with a sight
E
That is strange and it's sad
B
A
And it's mad it's not right
E
There's one thousand and one
B
A
Spaces free but I see
E
That he find me guilty
B
A
Of the time over fee
F#
Now I know why my mother
F#
Why my mother warned me
A
Said 'you might be lucky
B
But know nothing comes for free'
E
B
She is right - entirely
E
Cos the ticket paid the song
B
That I sing to this beat
E
B
Oh parking inspector
E
Just made my list of one thousand
B
One thousand and one
E
B
But ah parking inspector
E
B
Won't let you wreck my fun
F#
Cos when I pay for my ticket
F#
I won't curse and despise
A
No i'll run into the girl
B
With the slinky blue eyes
E
Then my list of one thousand and one
B
Will remain
E
I had plans to get it done
B
But now my plans they have changed ah
E
B
A
E
B
A
Parking inspector
E
Just made my list of one thousand
B
A
And grow a little more
E
B
A
But ah parking inspector
E
B
A
You won't believe what I saw
F#
On the back of my ticket
F#
With invisible type
A
Was a map to the place
B
With one thousand delights
E
And a key that was one to that
B
A
Spot by the sea
E
Where the breeze blows
B
A
Underneath that island tree
