How it works

This phrase combines the onomatopoeic/mimetic adverb ズラリ (zurari), which describes things lining up or being arranged in a long row, with the particle と (to) and the verb 並ぶ (narabu), meaning 'to line up' or 'to be arranged'. The と particle here functions to turn the adverb ズラリ into a manner adverb modifying the verb 並ぶ, indicating 'lining up in a zurari manner'.
