A space is a place that's a beautiful thing When I see one that's free I wanna sing Squeezin' into a tight one such pleasure can bring A space is a place that's a beautiful thing Sometimes you find a space and for it you must fight Sometimes you find a space you drive around half the night When folks take up a space and a half, that's not right Sometimes you find a space, for it you must fight When I see a space that I don't even need It's a twinge and a feeling that's akin to greed It's a case of space envy, I'd say so indeed When I see a space I don't even need I still want that space, yeah Mondays and Thursdays, eleven-thirty to one They're cleaning the street, man, you're under the gun When you waitin', alternatin', no, it ain't tons of fun As of Monday and Thursdays, eleven-thirty to one But in my part of town the cops cast a blind eye Folks double park till a sweeper goes by Then they can sit in clean space and livin' a lie In my part of town cops cast a blind eye And when the rules are suspended it's too good to be true Ash Wednesday, Abe's Birthday, Passover too! Yeah, I love all the holy days, although I'm no jew When the rules are suspended it's too good to be true Asian Lunar New Year too, you got to love it A car in the City's just a pain in the ass It's an albatross made out of chrome, steel, and glass It's nice to know that you can get out of town fast But a car in the City's a pain in the ass When some hear the word space they think of the moon The stars and the planets or a Sun Ra tune They all think where, when, what day and how soon? I'll park here on earth - the hell with the moon! A space is a place that's a beautiful thing I get into a new one - such pleasure it brings If you'll vacate me a space now, it's to thee I sing A space is a place, it's a Marvelous place, it's a Magical place, it's a Meaningful place, it's a Wonderful...that's a beautiful thing! A space is a place that's a beautiful thing
