Ttto The Twa Corbies, trad., as sung by Maddy Prior with Steeleye Span
(Not what you think. Not what you're thinking now, either.)
Two tow truckers out on the road
Were seeking vehicles to be towed.
I heard the one to the other one say, o,
Where shall we go and tow today, o? (2x)
In yonder strip mall where we dine,
A doctor's parked one inch over the line
And once his Lexus is on my rack, o,
He'll pay three hundred cash to get it back, o! (2x)
I'll crush his fender and crack his lights
So they will fail one of these dark nights
And when he's crashed and broke his neck, o,
Then you can tow away the wreck, o. (2x)
Tow Trucks Prowl, and Authorities Crack Down
By ANDREW POLLACK,
The New York Times
LOS ANGELES, July 30 [2005] - There is probably no more infuriating sight for drivers than their car attached to a tow truck. But some motorists, prosecutors and lawmakers think some towers are going a little too far.
In one case here, a church's pickup was towed from its own parking lot; in another, a 4-year-old boy was towed away in his mother's car after she went inside her apartment for a few minutes to drop off groceries and a younger child.
And a man who ran alongside a tow truck, pleading to get his vehicle back after it was towed from a fire lane, died when he slipped and was run over by the truck and then his own Chevrolet Suburban.
[...]
Besides lodging claims of unjustified towing, people have complained of exorbitant fees to get their cars released and of towers who accept only cash, not credit cards.
